The Practicing the Way Course is an introduction to spiritual formation. This course features eight sessions of teaching, guided conversation, and spiritual exercises designed to lay a foundation for lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus. The course will also be paired with readings from Habits of Grace by David Mathis.

Over eight sessions, you’ll form a foundational understanding of intentional spiritual formation. You will learn about the practices of spiritual formation including Bible reading, Sabbath, prayer, and more. Together, we’ll explore how to follow Jesus in our busy, distracted, and increasingly secular culture.


We will meet every Sunday from Feb 23 through April 13 from 12pm-2pm immediately following the service (at the church’s location of 1845 Commonwealth Ave, Brighton). Practicing the Way is FREE and lunch is provided, however, there is no childcare.

We will generally follow the weekly outline below, although this outline may change as we continue through the course:

Session 1 — Following Jesus
