A Slow Journey Through John

by The Wild Way

ABIDE, LEARN, AND GO.Join us for a year-long spiritual formation journey through the Gospel of John. Weekdays we take 10-12 minutes to dwell richly in the text while focusing on the inward journey of learning, contemplative practices, and prayer and the outward journey of integration, action, and becoming people of love in the world. Weekends we do a theology dive into the implications of John's Gospel for thought-provoking bible study, spiritual growth, and discipleship. Followers of Jesus, questioners of Jesus, and questioning followers are all welcome.
