Spiritual Practices Pt 1

Feb 15, 2026    Pastor Rod Hidalgo

Spiritual practices are not about earning God’s love. They are about creating intentional space for God to transform us from the inside out. 


In this message from our Apprenticeship series, we explore how practices like solitude, Scripture, prayer, and fasting help us remain connected to Jesus and experience real transformation. Information alone does not change us, but intentional time with God invites His work in our hearts. 


This week’s challenge is simple: choose one inward practice, spend 10 minutes each day, at the same time and place, for seven days. Not to impress God, but to make room for Him.  


In this message, we focus on inward spiritual practices:


• Solitude – distraction-free time with God

• Scripture – letting God’s Word shape our hearts

• Prayer – surrendering and realigning our lives

• Fasting – loosening the grip of our desires


These practices are not about performance or spiritual superiority. They are not a way to earn God’s love. They are simply ways to position ourselves so God can do the transforming work within us. 


If we want different fruit, we must plant different seeds. And spiritual practices create the space where that transformation can begin.


Join us as we learn to follow Jesus more intentionally and make room for His work in our lives.
