Be With Jesus | Practicing the Way Visio...

Practicing the Way
About this episode

How do we cultivate a deep relationship with God? Using key scriptures and church history examples to give a tangible vision of how to “practice the presence of God,” John Mark shows that through abiding, we have access to the peace and joy that Jesus promised as we adopt the spiritual disciplines that Jesus exemplified.


Key Scripture Passages: John 1v35-49; John 14v16-15v8; Galatians 5v13-26
