Exploring Spiritual Disciplines and the Concept of Discipleship

Success in spiritual practices isn't achieved by merely checking the boxes or accomplishing tasks, but by experiencing the life those practices aim to cultivate within, like inner slowness and stillness. This realization led to a moment of unwelcome clarity. The essence lies in living at the pace of Jesus, as exemplified by the concept of 'yoke is easy and burden is light' attributed to him. Understanding discipleship as learning from a mentor to emulate their life, priorities, and skills, allows for a deeper comprehension of spiritual growth beyond religious connotations.
