The Emotionally Healthy Connection

to go to a page on Bridgetown Church's website featuring an interview between John Mark Comer and Pete Scazzero, author of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship.


North Creek engaged in a congregation-wide study of two of Pete Scazzero's books: Emotionally Healthy Spirituality (Fall 2021) and Emotionally Healthy Relationships (Winter 2022).  These studies recommend that each person form a "RULE OF LIFE," a set of spiritual practices that keep us grounded in God.  Practicing the Way is our chosen source of learning the classic spiritual practices that might be included in our rule of life.


Practicing the Way will eventually feature NINE practices: Sabbath, Prayer, Fasting, Solitude, Scripture, Community, Simplicity, Generosity, Hospitality.  Explore each one and consider incorporating it into your “rule of life.”
