Mapping Your Customs (Discipleship Dialogues)

Jesus had a set of customs in his life (e.g., Luke 2:42; 4:16, 42; 9:18, 28; 22:39). We should, too. In this discipleship dialogue, Pastor Tim explains what it looks like to map your customs and why it matters. The more popular phrase for this idea is a Rule of Life. Mapping our Customs helps us pause, take our spiritual pulse, realign our passions toward God, and keep practicing on a daily, weekly, or occasional basis those habits that form us into Christlikeness. Here's a guide, adapted from Practicing the Way. This session also includes ideas from The Common Rule (Earley), Courage & Calling (Smith), The Emotionally Healthy Leader (Scazzero), The Life You've Always Wanted (Ortberg), Whatever You Do (Bobo, ed.) and Philippians 2:12-13.
