In the fourth century, the desert father Saint Sarapion traveled from his monastery in Egypt to visit a woman in the city of Rome. The woman had become widely known for her devotion to Jesus, but, unlike Sarapion, she did not retreat into the desert. She stayed firmly planted in the noise and chaos of urban life.

When Sarapion found her, she was quietly sitting in her room.

He asked her, “Why are you sitting here?”

She answered, “I’m not sitting, I am on a journey.”

Following Jesus has long been likened to a spiritual journey. When Jesus invited his first disciples to “follow” him on the “way,” he was simultaneously saying that discipleship to him is a lifelong path.

This Course is just a primer. It’s designed to get you started on the journey of spiritual formation, help you get unstuck if you’ve stalled out, or just guide you into taking your next step. Ultimately, its goal is to train you to live as an apprentice of Jesus: to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did.

Whatever prompted you to come on this Course, welcome.

We’re so happy you’re here.

May this experience lay the foundation for a life of apprenticeship to Jesus that you can build on for decades to come.
