PREPARING THE WAY FOR JESUS IS NOT ABOUT DOING MORE…
Has the noise of life reached a point where it’s hard to hear your own heart, let alone God’s voice?
Demands, responsibilities, movement, and noise. Our lives are filled to the brim; it’s no wonder we rarely make time to stop and simply be.
The way of Jesus invites us into more than activity. It calls us into attentiveness: a life where we make space to listen, to notice, and declutter our souls.
Making Way creates space for unhurried presence with God, attentive listening for His voice, and deep spiritual formation shaped through life-giving community.
Maybe it’s time to declutter your soul so you can listen more deeply to God and your life…
IT’S ABOUT CREATING SPACE FOR God IN US AND AMONG US.
WHAT IS Making Way?
Making Way is a spiritual formation ministry offering a spacious pathway to support you in cultivating a deeper, more integrated life with God through listening, prayer, and community.
Spiritual formation was never meant to happen alone; you need companions who help you notice where God is present and at work in your everyday life. At the heart of Making Way is transformation through listening in small groups.
Our guided gatherings create an unhurried space where we slow down together, rest, and practice paying attention to God. Week by week, you will learn to make space, both outwardly in your life and inwardly in your heart, gently laying down what crowds the soul and creating room to listen for God’s voice as you walk the journey of faith side by side in community.
Making Way’s guided gatherings will help you find the deeper connection with God you’re longing for, creating space to be attentive to His Spirit and your actual life.
Slow down.
listen deeply.
follow faithfully.
The spiritual life is like a sailboat; you aren’t meant to row yourself forward by effort alone, but are designed to raise your sails and trust the steady current of the Spirit to carry you.
Our prayer at Making Way is that as you make way and create space to listen, you will begin to notice God’s presence again, or maybe hear His gentle voice for the very first time.
