30 Days of Abiding
How would your life change if you created just a small bit of space to encounter God every single day? What would be different about you, your soul, your relationships, your work?
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:4-5 |

The inspiration behind 30 Days of AbidingMy name is Larissa Marks, and I'm a spiritual director and formation coach. I wanted to take a practical, intentional step in my own spiritual journey with God. 30 days of something seemed like a good place to start. If you can have space to encounter God and connect with him for 30 days in a row, something good is bound to happen, right?
I invited others to join me, because I love living faith with community. As of 2020, we have done 4 rounds of 30 Days of Abiding, with hundreds of participants from around the world. How cool is that? This is for anyone wanting to kickstart their spiritual growth, people who are hungry for purposeful connection with others, and those searching for a simple, practical way to encounter God. Let's jump into 30 Days of Abiding together, and see what kinds of amazing and awesome things God will do in us! |
