Teaching Summary
• Transformation is possible, but it’s not inevitable.
• We need an intentional plan for our spiritual formation — what the early Christians called a “Rule of Life.”
• A Rule of Life is a schedule and a set of practices and relational rhythms that create space for us to be with
• Jesus, become like him, and do as he did.
• When crafting a Rule for the first time, it’s important to start small, and begin with subtraction, not addition.
• This coming week, our exercise is to design a Rule of Life.
