THE R.O.O.T. METHOD / FOUR STEPS TO PRACTICE

Reading is the beginning.
Living it is the journey.

Move from reading the words to letting the Word shape your life. Use this simple framework with any passage of Scripture.

01 / READ

What does the
Scripture say?

Start with Scripture itself. Read the passage slowly, notice its context, and allow yourself to sit with the words before rushing toward an answer.

Put this into practice ↗
