Practicing the Practices

Learning to practice the Way of Jesus in everyday life.

Our Approach

Jesus is our greatest gift and our greatest example. He is our Savior and our Teacher.

The podcast will introduce you to a Discipleship Practice and provide a practical guide for integrating that practice into your everyday life as you learn to practice the Way of Jesus.

Podcast | Practicing The Practices

The Practicing the Practices Podcast is a learning and experiential podcast geared towards helping you apprentice with Jesus. The invitation to discipleship – apprenticeship with Jesus – is an invitation to a Gospel-formed and Gospel-empowered life. We have been invited not only to believe but to imitate Jesus.

The Critical Journey

In season four of Practicing the Practices, Brad and Casey introduce The Critical Journey — a framework for spiritual growth that explains the stages of faith, why you sometimes feel stuck, and how God is inviting you into a deeper walk with Him.

We’ve curated this video teaching series and a new companion guide for individuals, small groups, and leadership teams.

  • “If the Spirit led Jesus there, maybe the wilderness is not where God has left you—maybe it’s where He is forming you.”

    — Brad Raby

  • “If we’re not being intentionally formed by Jesus himself, then it’s highly likely we are being unintentionally formed by someone or something else.”

    — John Mark Comer

  • “The joy and satisfaction that come from being faithful to Christ will always be richer than the mere ease that comes from drifting along the cultural currents.”

    — Jon Tyson

  • “Formation isn’t just internal—it’s meant to flow outward into relationships, neighborhoods, and the world.”
