The Spacious Path: Practicing the Restful Way of Jesus in a Fragmented World is a simple invitation into a life ordered around listening and love
As we live through cycles of change and disruption, our familiar pathways crumble, and we find ourselves in fragmented relationships with God, others, and our own souls. We are not the first to experience this disorientation: When Jesus offered the stunning invitation to come to him to learn how to work from a place of rest, he was talking to people weighed down by ill-fitting political, economic, and religious systems. And his life and ministry offer a glimpse of a better way.
For centuries, a practice called the Rule of Life—built around rhythms of prayer, work, study, hospitality, and rest--has provided a loving pathway for anyone who desires to live out the whole gospel. More than a historic primer on an ancient practice, an aspirational overview of spiritual life, or a personal inventory focused on habits, The Spacious Path offers companionship through personal narrative, meaningful reflection, and guided prayer for readers to return to as often as needed.
Rediscover an ancient Christian practice to reorient your life around the unforced rhythms of Jesus, not by adding another ill-fitting system but by walking freely and lightly on the pathways of listening and love in the way of Jesus.
I’m so glad you’re here!
Hi! My name is Tamara (sounds like camera). Thanks for visiting my online home today.
If you’re looking for encouragement to worship God, love people, and enjoy beauty wherever you find yourself right now, you’re in the right place. I’m all about helping those who are weary or burdened by the unexamined practices of their faith listen for the fresh invitations of Jesus to watch, walk, and work with him in unforced rhythms of grace.
If you’re struggling with spiritual weariness, I hope that my writing, devotional guides, or spiritual direction might offer just the right guidance you need to live into your faith or relationships in a new way.
