Spiritual Disciplines for Spiritual Growth
Back to Growth Plan List
Practicing spiritual disciplines will help you grow in your faith and become more spiritually mature as you draw closer to God. They are called disciplines because they do not always come naturally; rather, you must be deliberate and intentional -- disciplined -- in their application.
For this Growth Plan, we have gathered some of our best content on different spiritual disciplines to help you grow in this area. Through this series of posts, you will find out how to implement certain disciplines (like Bible reading, prayer, silence, solitude, worship, and fasting) in your life. You will also learn why they are important and how they will help you cultivate a deeper, more meaningful faith.
The Discipline of Bible StudyWhen you want to do the things that make you grow spiritually -- the things that help you draw nearer to God -- your first and best resource is God’s Word.
