MINI-RETREAT #3
HE REVEALS OUR HEARTS
LUKE 2:33-35

This Private Mini-Retreat dives into the prophecy of Zechariah about Jesus in Luke 2.

Or fee free to use a different scripture with the same practices.

MINI-RETREAT #2
MARY AND MARTHA
LUKE 10:38-42

This private mini-retreat is based on a series of practices, many of which are described by Timothy Keller as he teaches us how to follow a path from Bible study to biblical meditation to prayer. After years of experimenting with spiritual practices, I have recently found that biblical meditation has been the most helpful yet… by far.
Enjoy!

MINI-RETREAT #1
JOHN 6:16-21

My favorite practice, the Prayer of Recollection, is showcased. This is a great practice, but takes some, well, practice. It may feel a little unnatural at first, but if you decide to make it a regular part of your life, it will grow and can become very powerful. If you would like, you can listen to a guided, meditative version of the Prayer of Recollection (and also the instructions for Prayer of Recollection), instead of or in addition to doing it on your own. You will find the links in your itinerary. This retreat focuses our lens on

John 6:16-21. What a great section! I hope you love it!

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.

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.
