Anyone hearing bells?

About TFW : The Forgotten Ways

Joan, Katie, and I had quad yesterday and Joan shared something that Alan Hirsch had said at Apex the previous week. Using the acronym B.E.L.L.S., he demonstrated a way to live/share/love Jesus in a very reproducible way that, if done faithfully, will radically grow your relationship with God, fellow believers, and non-believers. Are you ready for this....?

B = bless someone 3 times a week (someone from house church, someone who needs the Lord,
and an optional choice)
E = Eat 3 times a week with someone from house church, someone who needs the Lord, and an
optional choice
L = Listen 1 hour a week in contemplative prayer with a journal in hand (you can do this 10 min
a day every day of the week, contemplative prayer being where you are silent and
contemplating what God is telling you)
L = Learn - read in the gospel every day, read in another book of the bible every day and read
in another book in general every day.
S = Sent - conscious recognition that when we leave house church or church that we are sent into
the world as disciples.
