Weekly Practices
Follow along with each part of this practice. We recommend you work through it with your community, a small group, a weekly meal with friends or neighbors, your roommates, whatever works. Get a group of people, set a time each week to share a meal, then talk and pray for about an hour. Transformation happens in community.
Week One: Letting Go
If we allow God’s Spirit to pry open our hands we might see our first glimpses of the freedom Jesus offers.
Week Two: Values
It is not enough to just minimize our home or schedule; we have to simplify around something.
Week Three: Speech
Most of what comes out of our mouth isn’t something we consciously think about, but happens automatically.
Week Four: Clothing
Scripture encourages us to live and dress simply, modestly, and not in order to impress others or show off our wealth.
Week Five: Stuff
It's clear that more doesn’t equal better; often, more equals less: less contentment, less margin, less peace.
Week Six: Pleasure
God designed us to experience joy. But we corrupt the freedom of Jesus so that it becomes a license for excess.
Week Seven: Contentment
The way of Jesus calls us to live simply, enjoy the ordinary pleasures of life, and find deep contentment in God.
