Contemplative Discipleship is a slower, gentler way to deepen your life with God.

Life with God can feel like a bit of a puzzle these days. We talk about God, learn about God, even serve God. But somewhere along the way, it’s easy to lose touch with actually being with God.

Our faith can become more about information than transformation, more about what we do for God than who we become in God, and before we know it, the joy and wonder that once felt exciting and interesting starts to feel...well, a little dull and tiering.

Contemplative Discipleship exists to help people notice God’s loving activity in the ordinary moments of their everyday life. Instead of rushing toward spiritual achievement or checking the next box on a “growth plan,” we pause to pay attention to what’s right here, right now.

Unlike many discipleship programs that focus on doing more or getting “better,” Contemplative Discipleship invites a deeper being. The goal isn’t only to live a life like Christ, but to live a life as connected to the Source of Life as Christ was.

Slow down. Pay attention. Let joy find you right where you are.
