This 15-month plan continues our emphasis of Practicing the Way by advancing our spiritual formation into the ordinary arenas of life: marriage, parenthood, work, church community, mission, generosity, and biblical worldview.

• Explain the biblical text faithfully.
• Show how the text points us to Jesus and the gospel.
• Translate biblical truth into everyday apprenticeship.
• Help us live with a distinctly biblical worldview.

Recurring Application Lenses:

• Marriage — How does the gospel reshape the way we love our spouse?
• Parenthood — How does the gospel shape the way we form the next generation?
• Workplace — How does following Jesus change Monday morning?
• Biblical worldview — What does this passage teach us about God, humanity, sin, redemption, and the world?

Four Questions to Repeat Throughout the Series:

• What does this teach me about Jesus?
• How does the gospel change me?
• What does this look like at home and at work?
• What does this say about reality?

The goal is not merely that North Central becomes better at practicing spiritual disciplines. The goal is that ordinary people increasingly look like Jesus in their homes, marriages, parenting, workplaces, relationships, finances, witness and everyday decisions.
