Rule of Life

How can I arrange my life to apprentice under Jesus? The Rule of Life podcast is designed to guide you in arranging your everyday life around being with and becoming like Jesus.

You’ll hear from pastors, thought leaders, and everyday apprentices of Jesus, all hosted by John Mark Comer and produced by Practicing the Way. Each season will be released alongside a Practice - a four week long experience created by Practicing the Way, designed to integrate these ancient practices into your everyday life.

    Generosity Testimonial 04: Josh & Abbi

    Josh and Abbi learned early on in marriage to live on a meager income – just enough to cover essential needs, and not much else. Today they consider it a gift, because it taught them how little they really needed. When they did make enough for a small surplus and sensed the pull of materialism, they incorporated practices into their lives to maintain radical generosity. The result has been joy and contentment, both for themselves and for their children.

    Generosity 04: Be Generous to the Poor

    The early church was marked by extravagant generosity to the poor.  Followers of Jesus formed socioeconomically diverse communities that cared for each other like family, something unheard of in the 1st century Greco-Roman world. All of this was in response to the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles, which repeatedly emphasize the call to care for those in need. John Mark Comer and Christian Dawson explore how followers of Jesus can walk in the footsteps of the early church by cultivating diverse, interdependent communities. Along the way, they address key questions such as, “Who are the poor, and who are the rich?” And, “What does it look like in my life to care for those in need?”  This podcast accompanies the Generosity Practice, a four-session experience designed to help integrate generosity into your community.

    Generosity Testimonial 03: Lola

    Lola grew up in a family that, in her words, “gave with ease.” When she joined a community of followers of Jesus, she experienced the same generosity during a period of unexpected difficulty. Taking in generous love softened her heart and kindled a desire to show up for others in need.

    Generosity 03: Everything Belongs to God

    From the first pages of Scripture, this simple truth is clear: We are guests in God’s world. Our role is that of a steward, not an owner, and in that role, we are entrusted with God’s resources for our own good and for the good of others. Through careful examination of key passages such as Luke 12 and 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, John Mark Comer and Christian Dawson discuss areas of theological controversy around money, how to avoid the pitfalls of wealth, and practical ways of cultivating a stewardship mentality, even with little resources.

    Generosity Testimonial 02: Sunny

    Sunny believes that how we use money is a concrete reflection of what we truly value. That conviction, along with the understanding that everything he owns is really God’s, has produced a lifestyle of increasing generosity in his family. As an engineer, Sunny knows that measuring and reporting is key to improving, and he’s given that same scrutiny to his stewardship; he and his family check on their giving regularly and seek to give 1% more each year – not because they feel they must, but because they sense God’s pleasure in the practice of generosity.

    Generosity 02: Watch Out for Greed!

    Accumulation and acquisition are often celebrated as the path to security and happiness, but Jesus warns against the broken human desire to always want more.  In Episode 02 of the Generosity Season, John Mark and Christian Dawson explore how Jesus’ way of generosity can set us free from enslavement to greed and slowly train our hearts to be deeply happy and content.   Learn how the pursuit of possessions leads to hurry and anxiety, ways to become more sensitive to our invisible propensity towards greed, and why Jesus calls wealth so deceitful.
