This week, we continued our reading and application of John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way. The book explores what it truly means to be an apprentice of Jesus—in other words, a disciple. Comer describes discipleship as a threefold journey: being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing as Jesus did.
Much of our time this week was dedicated to preparing the midterm exam essay. This 1,000-word reflective essay invites students to engage deeply with Practicing the Way by choosing three specific spiritual practices that have shaped them so far and will continue to form them as apprentices of Jesus. Students are asked not only to explain these practices, but also to reflect on how they impact their daily lives and spiritual growth.
Midterm Exam Essay is due Tuesday, December 16 by 11:59 PM
We will finish Practicing the Way after Christmas break.
