Spiritual Disciplines Part 1: Growing in God

Pastor Jo and Scott introduce the new series on spiritual disciplines. They explain why spiritual disciplines are the garden bed for human flourishing and why they are indispensable instruments for the contemporary church. When the world around us is saying otherwise, God is calling us towards long obedience in the same direction. Listen in to hear how you can grow in your personal walk with God as we begin our series on spiritual disciplines.
