Mark 1:33-34

Self-discipline—whether with your time, food, or money—is a good and God-honoring thing. But it can easily become an ultimate thing and thus turn into a soul-sucking idol. How can you avoid crossing over to the dark side of discipline? That’s the question you’ll answer in this 3-day reading plan.

Tony Evans gives you a book summary for each of the Gospels in this four-day reading plan, helping you to gain a broader understanding of this important section of the Bible. 

Holy leisure is about finding rest and enjoyment in God’s presence, even when life’s circumstances are hard. The Gospel of Mark is full of examples of Jesus exemplifying this restful dependence on his Father, even when exhaustion, storms, and interruptions threatened to thwart his will. Experience a life of holy leisure as you learn to live, rest, and trust, like Jesus.

In a world that is overrun with distraction and noise, Jesus’ invitation is to slow down and go with him into the quiet and find the deep peace and freedom we long for. This plan, by Practicing the Way and John Mark Comer, features key ideas and practical suggestions for us to integrate this foundational practice of solitude into our everyday lives.
