Episode 93 - Deepening Your Faith: Exploring 5 More Spiritual Disciplines

In our last episode of the Sojo Show, we talked about spiritual disciplines, and this week we are going to continue that conversion with 5 more disciplines for you to consider as you strive for growth in your faith!

1. Journaling

Let's talk about journaling for a minute! Are you a paper  or a digital journal there? 

When it comes to a spiritual discipline, in particular, there are several ways you can journal. 

One of the ways is to journal God’s goodness in a faithfulness journal. In the Old Testament, this was a big part of their worship and when we record God's faithfulness in our lives, it builds our faith.

If you haven't jumped into journaling yet, we also have a full podcast episode on it. We encourage you to go listen after this episode and learn more about the many different ways you can journal!

How Journaling helps you know God. In this episode learn the reasons why we should journal. The different styles/ways of journaling. How journaling helps you process your deeper spiritual issues!

2. Fasting

Fasting is intentionally denying yourself one of life's necessities, normally food for a period of time, in order to seek God's face.  This humbling of ourselves reminds us that He is our source of life.  

3. Evangelism  

Evangelism simply means sharing what God has done for you. When you are sharing the gospel and pointing people to the source of your blessings, that’s evangelism. 

God has a way of taking the little things that we do in faith and obedience. And that's what we have to remember when we talk to others.  It’s about his glory and not our discomfort.

4. Silence and Solitude 

What we have going on in our lives today.  Our phones and our digital devices are never silent. We are always available. We are always at somebody's disposal. There's never any time for solitude and for silence, and that's why we have to be intentional about it.

We need solitude and we need silence. And we just need to hear from God.  

Side note: We have a 10-day challenge we offered called Digital Detox that speaks to this very thing. And if you join our Spiritual Growth Accelerator as an early bird, you will get this challenge for free.

5. Worship

Worship is glorifying God in all that you do and when you begin to understand worship as more than the 10 minutes before the sermon on Sunday morning, but as a sacrifice of yourself to a holy God, you will be transformed.

COMING UP

Coming up on October 2nd: In the first Monday in October, we are releasing our 3rd annual live session of our Spiritual Growth Accelerator. 

Each time we are shaking up just a bit! This time we will be going through a new passage of Scripture… Jesus Final Discourse in John 14-17.  

The main point of the accelerator is not necessarily to study the passage, although that is a great benefit, but to learn how to practice these spiritual disciplines. And actually do them together with a group of women who are committed to it, who actually want to see this transformative power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. 

To continue to draw in closer to God. Jen and AJ have been running Sojo Academy together for nearly five years, and they repeatedly hear from women that we all struggle with distractions. We're easily distracted. We have a ton of things going on in our lives. We struggle with being consistent. We may start and we stop and start and stop. 

And the Spiritual Growth Accelerator is designed specifically to give you not more information. We are going to get into God's Word. But it's Beyond Bible Study. 

This program will give you structure and the tools needed for true transformation.

Join us at sojoacademy.com/sga for October’s Spiritual Growth Accelerator.
