About this sermon

Dallas explains the unfortunate misunderstandings caused by the wrongful application of disciplines in Church history and why the modern American Church has widely rejected spiritual disciplines. He clarifies the purpose of disciplines, as well as offering the how to practice them and the how not to. He also defines the good life, gives us insights into the Beatitudes and redefines asceticism in a helpful way. This was Session 2 of a series presented at St. Malo's Retreat Center, Colorado. #DallasWillard #JohnCalvin #SpiritualPractices #transformation #WillardWednesday
