Spiritual Practices - Southridge Community Church

Received: 2026-01-20 03:01:53

Prayer for all of the relationships in our community - especially that we will all choose to address concerns with love before they fester into something deep rooted and evil. Let us all choose safe people to confide in and keep each other accountable to live out our relationships in this life the way that Jesus would! There is so much clarity to be found in good communication.

Imaginative Prayer | Wounded Healer

I want to invite you to close your eyes and picture your hurt – the ways you’ve experienced pain and hurt in the church, maybe generally or maybe very specifically or even recently – picture it as an actual wound on your body.

Reflection

resources:

Examen | Church History

Examen is a practice of examining your life backwards, over a given period of time, and prayerfully reflecting on two things: 1) Where you noticed a sense of God’s presence, or closeness; and 2) Where you felt absent or disconnected from that sense.

Bible Study

resources:

Journaling the Bible | Micah 6:6-8

What we’re wanting to do here is to shake up both over-familiarity (for those who have been reading the Bible for a long time) that can sometimes cause the Bible to feel stale, as well as to think more deeply about what some of the ancient words and metaphors really mean, and what they might look and sound like in our present day context.
