Weekly Practice 6/15/26
Make every effort to do or reflect upon this week’s practice with others.
Scripture
1 Corinthians 14:1-4 NLT
Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy. For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious. But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them. A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.
Practice
Witness
This week, watch or listen to this episode from Practicing the Way’s “Rule of Life” podcast: Witness 03: Partner with the Holy Spirit. Then, reflect on the following questions:
What do you think about the “thin line” between encouragement and prophecy?
Is “three-way listening” (listening to another person while also paying attention to God and to yourself) a new concept for you?
How might you like to grow as a listener?
Also, this week, spend time with someone and just practice listening attentively to them.
