Priorities and Alignment
Ordering life, priorities, aligning with God’s rhythm. This week helps participants evaluate and reorder commitments so life reflects gospel priorities. It offers practical frameworks for decision-making, time use, and aligning daily routines with spiritual values. The focus is on coherence—making choices that sustain spiritual health and mission over time.
Objectives
Practice practical ordering of daily life.
Align time and energy with God’s purposes.
Reassess priorities and simplify life.
Reflections
How will I measure alignment with God’s purposes?
What is one priority I will protect this week?
What drains my time and energy?
