Abstract
ABSTRACTEmerging from the experience of a Brisbane-based intentional Christian community, this reflection explores how right belief, right desire and right action may fuse when discipleship centres on embodied spiritual practices. Spiritual formation, like physical training, takes repetitive exercise against resistance under supervision; and yet, lackadaisical disciples readily dismiss classic disciplines and cast off traditional liturgies as hackneyed litanies. Through enriching everyday actions and secular practices with cognitively deep and affectively engaging rituals, we can powerfully appeal to the imagination through the body in this age of apatheism. In so doing, we participate in shaping committed spiritual athletes who together work out the way of Jesus for the life of the world.
