How do we live with a greater level of intentionality in our apprenticeship to Jesus?

In season one, John Mark Comer and Tyler Staton explore key themes from John Mark’s book Practicing the Way, now available wherever books are sold.

John Mark and Tyler discuss apprenticeship to Jesus, what it means in everyday terms to be with him, become like him, and do as he did, and how to make space for your spiritual life to flourish by building a personalized Rule of Life.

  • Spiritual Cartography – Part 03
    Jan 19 2026

    In this bonus episode, we're wrapping up our series called "Spiritual Cartography" featuring cutting room floor content from the Practicing the Way book. Today, John Mark explores the three critical shifts that define our journey of discipleship: from fear to trust, from despair to hope, and from self-focus to love. He unpacks how faith, hope, and love—the theological virtues—aren't just feelings but settled conditions of the heart that develop over years of following Jesus, showing us how transformation moves us from the prison of anxiety and the egoic operating system into the freedom of radical trust, joyful expectation, and genuine love for others.

  • Spiritual Cartography – Part 02
    Jan 12 2026

    In this bonus episode, we're continuing our series called "Spiritual Cartography" featuring cutting room floor content from the Practicing the Way book. Today, John Mark explores the concept of the "two halves of life"—a framework for understanding how our spiritual journey changes as we age. He unpacks the distinct tasks, temptations, and invitations of each season — from the energy and identity formation of youth, through the exhaustion and disillusionment of midlife, to the acceptance and generosity of our later years — showing us how faithfulness looks different at each stage and why the key to maturity is embracing the life we actually have, not the one we wish we had.

  • Spiritual Cartography – Part 01
    Jan 5 2026

    In this bonus episode, we're starting a series called "Spiritual Cartography" featuring cutting room floor content from the Practicing the Way book. Today, John Mark explores why mapping our spiritual journey matters and introduces a framework for understanding the four layers of sin we encounter on the path to spiritual maturity: gross sins, conscious sins, unconscious sins, and attachments. He explains how each layer requires deeper surrender and how suffering becomes the primary means by which we are freed from our deepest attachments.
