Welcome to the Weekly Digest!
Journal Prompts
* A quick note on journaling: if you're new to this practice, our journey through the book of Psalms will be a great way to get started. The most important step to forming this discipline in your life is to write anything and write often. Journaling is an incredible way to slow down, digest the content of a text, let your brain internalize thoughts that may come up, and keep a record for future reflection on what God was speaking to you during your reading. Journaling can take many forms such as written prayers, bullet points, stream of consciousness, or even poetry. Try some different methods and find the one that works best for you.

challenge you in the arena of loving others well?
Why is the act of loving others well and the gospel inseparable?
What rights or privileges are you willing to resign to love well? At this moment in your life,
where is God calling you to love well? What will you need to resign to do that well?
Paul uses the analogy of running a race. When running to win then the participant must lay
aside anything that would prevent them from crossing the finish line. So, what do you need to
lay aside to run this race of loving others well and living a lifestyle of the gospel?
