Centered Living: Rhythms for an Integrated Life

Centered Living: Rhythms for an Integrated Life

Many of us long for, but rarely get to experience, time set-aside for listening to God and being in his presence. Centered Living introduces disciplines that bring people into the presence of God. These disciplines are not a legalistic set of rules but rather practices that, through grace, tap into the healing and transforming love of God. As a community, we will explore and experience the practice of disciplines including meditation, silence, fasting, and solitude. Through the process, we will experience the reality that these disciplines are meant to heal the heart, not burden the soul.

Throughout the history of the Church, followers of Jesus have found that practicing simple exercises or “disciplines” were a gateway to new, spiritual vistas. The word discipline can bring to mind negative connotations; however, the word discipline, in today’s language, might be better understood as “training.” In our lives, there are times we hope for closeness with God and yet find obstacles to that journey. The disciplines, rightly practiced, can free us from these obstacles and open up a deeper intimacy with God.

Centered Living is a 10-week, cohort based course. Each week will consist of one group class session (1.5 hrs.) and daily rhythms of prayer, learning, and action. Like all ReWire formation, the structure and dynamic of this course is built to reflect our Inward, Outward, Together discipleship process.

Facilitator: This course will be facilitated by an experienced ReWire team member

Location: This entire course and cohort will be hosted virtually, live in the ReWire Hub (Unless otherwise pre-arranged as an in-person cohort)
