What if just being with God could change everything?
the moves
the be. method
What if just being with God could change everything? These simple exercises need only you, a Bible, and a willing heart. Intimacy with God isn’t just possible, it’s the answer to our soul’s deepest needs.
What is the be. method?
All of our resources are aimed at soul care. The first call is to a life in Christ, and then from that overflow service, action, and more can follow. Our bold claim is that by developing your 'spiritual formation toolbox' a life abiding in Christ will be more achievable, sustainable, and joy-filled! To organize ourselves we utilize a flexible framework of a method. It’s a simple, six-step invitation back into deep friendship with God. Whether we focus on one concept or go through the whole cycle each resource we create is designed to simply initiate being with God. By returning to Him again and again we learn to surrender, trust, and rest; even in midst of life’s smallest and biggest challenges.
Think of the be. method as a gentle roadmap to Jesus, rooted in Scripture and shaped by the ways God invites us to connect through His Word. These six words aren’t magic; they’re reminders of the life we’re made for.

soul care is for everyone
"The apostle Peter had a passionate heart for Jesus, but he was also rash, proud, immature, and inconsistent. His impulsiveness and stubbornness are evident throughout the gospels.
Yet Jesus patiently led Peter to a crucifixion of his self-will, in order that he might experience genuine resurrection life and power.
When I am still, compulsion (the busyness that Hilary of Tours called "a blasphemous anxiety to do God's work for him") gives way to compunction (being pricked or punc-tured). That is, God can break through the many layers with which I protect myself, so that I can hear his Word and be poised to listen.
In perpetual motion I can mistake the flow of my adrenaline for the moving of the Holy Spirit; I can live in the illusion that I am ultimately in control of my destiny and my daily affairs...French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal observed that most of our human problems come because we don't know how to sit still in our room for an hour."
