This article addresses the pervasive timidity toward spiritual disciplines foreign to one’s own context for the ultimate purpose of drafting a universalized theory for engagement with spiritual disciplines that transcends socio-historical, denominational, and personality barriers. It is my belief that certain disciplines – such as contemplation, fasting, or secrecy, for example – fluctuate in popularity according to denominational biases, personality differences, and experiential eclipses. This contemporary confusion can be resolved by emphasizing the need for a more universalized, orthopraxical approach toward spiritual practices at both the individual and corporate level. While the body of this paper seeks to deconstruct certain barriers that perpetuate spiritual discipline skepticism – such as sacred-secular dualism, contextual difference, personality variations, “denominational jingoism,” and so on – through the lens of critical theory, its main thrust is toward a universalized theory for engagement with the spiritual disciplines that creates an openness to pursue any spiritual discipline that can enrich transformative encounters with the Triune God at the individual and corporate level.
