Heart Journey

Cross-cultural servanthood is hard! The purpose of the Heart Journey training is to develop deep level intimacy between two or more people committed to following Jesus together in community. It will help Christians experience connection on a heart level with themselves, with others, and with God. This builds resilience, relational joy, emotional intelligence, and an increased awareness of God’s presence in one’s life. We do this through learning relational connectedness practices, or “Rhythm’s of Attention,” that become reflexive and automatic, building a foundation of deep connectedness for when times get tough!

You will learn a new Spiritual discipline, how to recover from overwhelm more quickly, how to look for Joy in life, how to become more aware of your feelings, how to practice listening prayer, and how to better discern God’s voice.

In this course you will learn a beautiful process for attachment level connection with another person. Consequently, it is recommended (but not essential) that you take this course with a prayer partner, spouse, or someone you feel comfortable being vulnerable with, as well as someone you can continue to meet with after the course is finished.

This course includes 5 – 1.5 hour Zoom sessions with home work practices over a period of 5 weeks.

Session 1: A Track to Run On – Introduction to the Heart Journey.
Session 2: Listening and Sharing On the Heart Level – The “Check In” practice.
Session 3: Daily Conversational Intimacy With Jesus – SIFT
Session 4: Appreciation and Interactive Gratitude – The Appreciation Memory practice
Session 5: Where Do We Go From Here?

Heart Journey is a 5-week, facilitated course created by the LK10 organization that confirms the Biblical exhortations with neuroscience in order to introduce people to the basics of connecting heart to heart with each other and with God daily. We are privileged to offer this course and thankful to LK10 for sharing it with us!

Here’s what others are saying:

One element I enjoyed in the Heart Journey cohort was its focus on “Checking In”. Many of us in Communitas have become familiar with this practice at the start of a meeting or in a group. Heart Journey is where the practice originated. I appreciated the background info as well as how this practice was woven into each Heart Journey meeting. However, the Heart Journey cohort takes “Checking In” a step further by offering 5 options for responses to the person who is “Checking In”. I think our group would say that these 5 options were game changers in learning how to better come alongside someone so they feel heard and understood.

We found the Heart Journey course to be a helpful, practical guide to simple practices that allow people to connect on a deeper level. There are literally no complicated steps. The rhythms of checking in and listening to God for each other are easy to implement and can be accomplished in short periods of time, or lingered over at length. What surprised us is that when one couple we’d practiced these rhythms with moved away, checking in and listening was one of the most important things they wanted to do together when we visited them some time later in their new home. People really do want to share on a deeper level, and allow God to meet with us when we do. This quiet little practice is effective and joy-producing as we connect at a heart level with God and others.
