The Celebration of Discipline (SPUMCColumbus)

Hosts: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr

Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth is a spiritual guidebook explaining the twelve Spiritual Disciplines and how they can bring a person closer to God. The disciplines are divided into three groups, Inward, Outward, and Corporate. The twelve disciplines are meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance, and celebration. The discussion of each discipline is supported with Scriptures and scholarly quotes that help readers grow closer to God.
