Abstract
In this research portfolio, the author will answer the following questions: What place should spiritual disciplines have in the life of a Christian and how does the Christian need to be intentional in the practice of them? The author grew up in a Christian home and found Jesus at seventeen years old, and his spiritual growth was slow and steady for many years, but then stagnation set in. It was in this period that he was introduced to spiritual disciplines, which answered his personal questions about spiritual growth, as their practice was the path to continuous, long-term spiritual growth. Every disciple of Christ has the privilege of becoming spiritually mature, and when the proper path is taken, growth will happen. “Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of Him who is the head, that is, Christ” (Eph 4:15 [New International Version]). The author also stresses how intentionality in the practice of spiritual disciplines is necessary for growth, which this paper will demonstrate is accessible and applicable to all Christians.
