Description

Do you long for an intimate connection with God?

Would you like to know how to hear from God regarding the direction you should take in life?

Learning and practicing the ancient Christian spiritual disciplines leads to a deeper, interactive relationship with God in Christ Jesus. Many Christians don't know how to engage God. They do all kinds of things but to no avail. God desires for us to pursue Him, to go deeper in our faith. He wants to interact with us, guide us, and train us in righteousness. Practicing the spiritual disciplines is for every Christian through the ages to develop the fullness of the Christian life.

In this course, you will learn 9 overarching disciplines using the acronym C.H.R.I.S.T.I.A.N. to help you remember them.


C = Confession (Personal, Familial, National)

H = Holy Spirit (Guidance, Wisdom)

R = Repetition (Memorization, Meditation)

I = Interaction (Bible Study, Prayer)

S = Service (Daily, Church, Community)

T = Togetherness (Worship, Fellowship)

I = Identification (Communion, Baptism, Witnessing)

A = Abstinence (Fasting, Solitude, Silence)

N = Needs (Love, Giving)


Some of the disciplines should be practiced daily, some weekly or monthly, and some annually. All will take discipline to master. Some disciplines will replace or push aside present activities and some will war with the way you or your culture thinks and acts. But these changes are for the better. They will mold and shape you into solid, mature Christian.

The ultimate goal of this book is to push past the beginning stages of the Christian life into a deeper relationship with God. Join me today on your new journey forward with Christ.
