The Solitude Practice

Discover how to step away from the noise of life and into a place of encounter with this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.

In our hyper-connected, constantly buzzing world, the practice of solitude is both countercultural and essential. The Solitude Practice provides a practical, accessible approach to incorporating this vital spiritual discipline into your life. Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, this guide offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, guided readings, and additional resources to help you and your community.

This course guide will equip you to experience the power of solitude as you learn to:

• Create a daily rhythm of quiet time with God
• Encounter your true self and address avoided emotions
• Combat spiritual enemies through Scripture-based reflection
• Deepen your intimacy with God through listening and loving presence

Discover how stepping away from distractions can lead to a transformed life, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed connection with God and others.
