Session • Introduction • Activation
This week, we’re going to take an audit of our current habits, practices and rhythms. We all have a way of life already, but is the way we are currently living in alignment with who we want to be and the deepest desires of our hearts?
“Your deepest desire is the one manifested by your daily life and habits.” — Geoff Dyer
Our rhythms, rituals and consumption reveal what we love, what we believe and what we worship. AW Tozer said that if we want to discover who we are, we should pay attention to the following things:

For example:
At the end of the week, use these questions to help you reflect on what you’re noticing. Try to hold all of this without judgement but extend grace and compassion towards yourself. Spend time holding this before God in prayer and invite him to speak to you about any shift that could be made with his grace.
