Way of Life Online Course

Our Daily Habits = our Way of Life

We all have practices we do day in and day out, some intentionally and some subconsciously. It’s the way we go about life. But how do you shift those practices to lead a more intentional life?

In this Way of Life course, you will learn a process you can use again and again.

The Way of Life online course is designed to help you create an intentional commitment to live in particular ways, crafted with prayer and discernment, as a way to become the person God created you to be. You’ll walk away from this course with new and renewed daily practices that will help you live with more intention, passion, and purpose.

The goal is not to live perfectly but to live faithfully. If you desire to step into a life full of intention, purpose, passion, and wholeness, then this course is for you.

If you’re ready to create more intentional daily practices, the Way of Life course is for you.

Code of Conduct:
The Center for Transforming Engagement strives for intentionality in the ways we relate to one another - how we as a team relate to each other, how we relate to participants, and how we hope participants will relate to us and one another. To that end, we hold cultural norms about the ways we interact with one another. Your participation in this program is contingent on your agreement to abide by these cultural norms. i. For growth to happen, we all need to be able to share about the deeper challenges we face. To provide that atmosphere of openness and support, you commit to not sharing personal information that is shared in program meetings. ii. In our interactions with each other and our communities, we practice the humility of not-knowing that is required to listen and discover. iii. Be aware of different cultural and characterological ways of communicating, and invite others’ voices. Respect theological differences: the river of Christian orthodoxy is wide, and while the streams of that river are distinct, they are not inherently better or worse. Even if you can’t respect the belief, treat the person with respect. iiii. We value both thoughts and feelings as valuable pieces of information that inform one another, and inform our learning and discerning together. iv. Be in the here and now (not mentally somewhere or some time else), with the people who are sharing their time and stories with you. Eliminate any distractions possible.
