Sunday's sixth session of The 24/7 Experience found the student travellers in the desert outside Phoenix learning about the topic of the wilderness. We discussed this quote by author Eugene Peterson:"This happens in the wilderness. You see more, hear more, yes, believe more....A sense of holiness takes shape; the sacred surfaces. Everybody - at least everybody who has anything to do with God - spends time in the wilderness." (Leap Over a Wall, Harper San Francisco, p. 72.)
We talked about life maps - specific and creative ways to mark our life journey's peaks, valleys, and the times in between. Our challenge for this session is to spend time in solitude, asking God to show us how he's been at work in our lives and where he may be leading us. We also discussed exploring and engaging in some of Christianity's ancient spiritual disciplines, such as solitude, fasting, contemplation, prayer, study, etc. 
Comment on the idea of solitude and being in the wilderness by Sunday, April 15, for a chance to win the book, The Life You've Always Wanted by John Ortberg. It is a great way to explore spiritual disciplines.
