A ten-week small group experience designed to help individuals integrate the 7 Rhythms of a Disciple into the two spheres in which we spend most of our lives – work and relationships.

Content Flow
Weeks 1-5 weeks focus on work and Weeks 6-10 focus on relationships – this was intentional to allow people to warm up in their group around a topic that is more public (work) before we get to a more personal conversation around family background and ongoing relationships.

Distinctions
- Life in Rhythm is a great follow up to Rooted, but it is not intended to be hosted in the same way or for the same purpose as Rooted.
- Ideal (but not exclusively) for married couples, Life in Rhythm has been updated to include a broader scope of relationships for people in various life stages.
- We recommend that small groups who have already been through Rooted go through Life In Rhythm to build on the foundation laid by Rooted of open conversation, practicing the 7 Rhythms, and risk-based experiential discipleship.
- No corporate experiences—everything is done within the small group. A church could create corporate gatherings if they wanted, but we tried to make this as easy as possible to hand to a small group leader and empower them to lead.
- Additional personal exercises to help individuals prepare for risk experiences
- Giving Adventure is a personal exercise and commitment to giving above and beyond what you’ve planned/expected and asking God how He wants you to steward what He has provided for you in these next three months
- Fill out your Work Mission Statement before your Work Prayer Experience so you can pray those into your work
- Fill out My 5 Family Values before your Family Prayer Experience so you can pray those over your home
