FOCUSED TIME AND YOUR REGULAR DAY

Practices are for both focused time and to be brought into your regular day. Below you will find two seperate lists.  One identifies practices that are well suited to bringing into the flow of your regular daily life; work, tasks, play.  The other list distinguishes practices that are good for your exclusive focused time with Jesus.

​

*Note: Some of these practices are difficult to separate this way; they may take initial focused time, but then have dimensions that carry into your regular day. I have designated these with an asterisk, while still separating them into the category that seems most suitable in my mind.

​

Practices that can be integrated into the regular flow of your daily life:

These practices can be done either in your set-aside meeting times with Jesus for a deeper experience or, once you get the hang of them, during your regular daily activities by just pausing and experiencing them right where you are. There are also practices on this list that are intended to be done as a part of your regular daily activities (like Resting and Sleeping with God). 


Practices that are best for focused time alone with Jesus:

SMPL is great if you:

  • Want a daily connection with Jesus through the Bible.

  • Have daily time with Jesus and the Bible, but are looking for something that will permeate from your head more deeply into your heart.

  • Are looking for a community of brothers and sisters to share your relationship with Jesus.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

If there’s a day that I missed practicing SMPL, I could tell you that on those days the challenges that I battle with so much and lack of peace were apparent to me.

I think it is insane that when you draw near to God he will draw near to you. This is proving to be more and more and more true. In times of anxiety, anger, and fear, I am able to hear God’s heart better, more accurately.

This spiritual discipline has been an absolute game changer in my relationship with Jesus.

I had grown weary of stale Bible studies that only engaged my mind but not my heart.

...You will be surprised at how powerfully Jesus speaks to you, often in ways you didn’t expect.
