Guess what – you need a vacation! This isn’t just advice coming from a friend. This summer, we are studying the Spiritual Disciplines, which are practices that Christians follow in order to grow in our faith. One important practice is that of Solitude and Retreat. Life moves at an incredible pace! We need to intentionally slow down and reflect in order to grow in the ways that Jesus is calling us to. It may seem counterintuitive, but intentional pauses are one of the best ways to make sure that our growth continues.
