Wayfinding Spirituality

Dallas Willard believed that God is more interested in who you become than what you do. Since the early church, followers of Jesus have discovered that spiritual practices are essential for nurturing an intimate relationship with Jesus and participating in God’s work in the world.

We all need to be intentional about cultivating rhythms in our everyday lives—frameworks that support our growth as apprentices of Jesus (a term Willard often used). For Wayfinder Leaders especially, this intentionality is vital.

Because each person is unique, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to spiritual practices. Different seasons of life call for different practices, offering us opportunities to explore and grow. However, there are also timeless, classic practices—like silence and solitude—that serve as the foundation for any spiritual journey.

In 2025, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with 31 different spiritual practices drawn from The Art of Missional Spirituality, a book by Jeremy and Monica Chambers. This resource offers guidance for weaving meaningful spiritual rhythms into your daily life.

Join Us

In 2025, we’ll journey together by exploring one new spiritual practice per week. Once a month, we’ll gather as a community to share our experiences, reflect, and encourage one another.

Details:

When: First Tuesday of the month, 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM NZ Time
From Tuesday 4 March to Tuesday 4 November 2025

Where: Online

Cost: Free (participants purchase their own copy of The Art of Missional Spirituality)

Commitment: Practice one spiritual discipline each week, starting after the first gathering in March.

What to expect:

Each monthly gathering will include:

• A community contemplative activity
• Brief additional content
• High-level reflections
• Small group sharing

You can choose to:

• Meet online with the same breakout group each month for consistency

• Organize a face-to-face gathering in your local area and connect online for the first part of the evening

We recommend committing to at least 6 of the 9 monthly gatherings.
