RCB Spiritual Formation GuideS
2024 Lent Guide
This guide is designed to help you take the next small step toward spiritual flourishing throughout the season of Lent. These practices are not rungs on a ladder where the goal is to climb higher by doing “more.” Rather, they are meant to be simple ways to shape your life so that God is increasingly placed at the center and your heart is increasingly prepared for the good news of Christ’s Resurrection at Easter.
Hearing God’s Voice
As we explore the topic of “Hearing God” through our fall sermon series, we are creating a set of Prayer Practice Guides to help you make space and engage in different rhythms and ways of connecting with God throughout the week. Some practices take only a few moments, and others take longer. We encourage you to experiment with these to discover what resonates for you and best supports the deepening of your relationship with God in this season of your life.
Sabbath Series
This summer, we created a series of guides focused on the Sabbath. In our fast-paced, overstimulated world, few things are as desperately needed as the recovery of this ancient practice—a full day every week set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. The practices in these guides will explore the rhythms of rest, worship, and play at the heart of the Sabbath and help you imagine what this ancient practice might look like in your life.
