Episode 22: What to do about it (Part Two)

Today’s podcast is part two of our “what to do about it” series, and this  episode is all about setting what is called a Rule of Life. A Rule of Life is an intentional set of practices that are used to guard our habits and guide our lives;  structure upon which our greatest desires are brought into alignment with the practices and habits of our everyday existence. 

In the episode today I reference John Mark Comer and his fantastic resources on the topic which can be found below:

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Note: The Rule of Life Workbook and sermon have been removed from the Bridgetown website, so unfortunately I can no longer link them here for you.

I also reference the four-part Rule of Life process which is as follows:

Step 1: Take an audit.

• What practices and habits make up my current rule of life when it comes to (this topic)? What do I do hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and annually? And then, 
• What kind of person am I becoming because of them?

 Step 2: Set a Rule

• What practices and habits would I like to add, cut out, or change from (this topic)? 
• What kind of person do I desire to become because of them

Step 3: Test it for one month and see how it feels.

Step 4: Refine and commit.
