At Power to Change, our passionate mission is to help fulfill the Great Commission, in Australia and beyond, as commanded by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,a]”>[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Practising the Way is a powerful spiritual formation resource by John Mark Comer and his team, designed to help you deepen your faith and integrate it into your daily life. It blends deep theological insights with practical application, making ancient Christian discipleship relevant today. Through courses and content, it guides participants in exploring essential spiritual disciplines, fostering habits that lead to a more Christ-like character and a life aligned with God’s Kingdom.
A major influence on Practising the Way is the late Dallas Willard (1935-2013). Willard, a renowned philosopher and author, profoundly impacted Christian thought with his work on spiritual formation and the Kingdom of God. His key books, like The Divine Conspiracy, reshaped understanding of discipleship, emphasising that following Jesus means actively living as He did. Willard’s teachings highlighted the importance of intentional spiritual practices for transforming our inner lives and actions.
This resource is perfect for anyone seeking a more profound and authentic relationship with God, moving beyond superficial faith. It’s ideal for Christians who want to truly embody Jesus’s teachings, not just intellectually agree with them. Pastors, leaders, and small group facilitators will find invaluable tools for discipleship. If you’re looking for spiritual growth, wrestling with modern life’s challenges, and aiming for a more disciplined walk with Christ, Practising the Way offers a clear, actionable path toward genuine spiritual transformation.
“The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who… are identified as “Christians” will become disciples-students, apprentices, practitioners- of Jesus Christ, steadily learning from him how to live the life of the Kingdom of the Heavens into every corner of human existence”
–Dallas Willard
