Week 2 - Be With Jesus

In week two of our "Practicing the Way" series, we explored what it means to truly be with Jesus. While following Jesus often begins with outward practices like attending church, reading Scripture, and praying, real transformation happens when we learn to remain connected to Him. Drawing from Bible passages like John 15:1–4 and Romans 12:1–2, we can see that abiding in Jesus means remaining, renewing our minds, and building rhythms that center our lives on Him. Through practices like contemplative prayer, we create space to be still and aware of His presence throughout our day. Ultimately, the goal of a life of prayer isn’t just answered prayers; the true reward is Jesus Himself.
