from Bible Geeks Podcast · host Ryan Joy and Bryan Schiele
Understand Spiritual DisciplinesIntroducing the Bible Geeks book club! This week we reflect on spiritual disciplines like Bible meditation, prayer, fasting, confession, and service, as we discuss Richard J. Foster’s Celebration of Discipline. We start by anchoring the discussion in our imitation of Christ, as his disciples. Then we go Flyin’ Through the Book, touching briefly on all twelve disciplines Foster encourages. It’s a conversation that raises topics from simplifying our possessions to what happens when we worship together. As the author says in closing, “The classical Disciplines of the spiritual life beckon us to the Himalayas of the Spirit. Now we stand at timber line awed by the snowy peaks before us. We step out in confidence with our Guide who has blazed the trail and conquered the highest summit.” Let’s start climbing!The Big Idea: We can become more like Jesus by imitating his habits.This Week's Challenge: Spend some time reading and reflecting on the spiritual disciplines.Show NotesLiving Water - The Bride by Ryan Joy (YOUTUBE)The Bible Bracket: Favorite Figures (WEBSITE)Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard J.
