Listen to Jason’s story now!

Stories Jason shared:

  • Growing up in a Roman Catholic church then accepting Christ as a child
  • Realizing Christ is the center of his life
  • Discovering the meaning of discipleship
  • Reading the Bible out of guilt
  • How reading transforms his journey
  • Wrestling with imposter’s syndrome
  • Feeling like he didn’t belong and how community that brought him out
  • How The Jesus Prayer shaped his journey
  • Why it’s okay to use the disciplines that work for you
  • How to pastor a church around practices

Great quotes from Jason:

My whole life is centered on my relationship with Jesus; everything flows from being a disciple of Jesus.

Sometimes the most loving thing is to allow people to be where they are.

A spiritual discipline is any practice that helps to cultivate communion with the real presence of Christ in our everyday lives.

Because we are all uniquely wired, we will all connect with spiritual disciplines in a different way.
