“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2
When we enter into relationship with God through Jesus Christ a new life begins. New life means that old ways of thinking begin to be replaced with new, godly ideas. Once we enter into faith, we become disciples, as God continually forms us to become more like Him. Spiritual disciplines provide structure and balance for soul care. We make space for connection to God, and encourage open, honest connection to others through practices such as solitude, silence, fasting, Sabbath, Bible reading, worship, prayer, soul friendship, personal reflection, and humble service.
