On the Practicing the Way webpage, I present this discipleship guide as a biblically grounded pathway for spiritual formation. In this particular section, I take a closer look at how the Practicing the Way model resonates with broader biblical language—revealing this recognizable pattern of discipleship woven throughout Scripture.

I’m curating a growing list of Biblical verses that echo this threefold movement: Be with Jesus, Become like Jesus, and Do as He did. Many of these passages don’t use the exact language, but they trace the same spiritual rhythm and progression. My aim is to draw out these parallels and explore how the underlying structure of this model is reflected in both the Old and New Testaments.

For instance, verses like Micah 6:8, Deuteronomy 6:4–9, and 1 Corinthians 13:13 reflect similar phrasing or spiritual logic that aligns with this discipleship framework. Other passages, such as Psalm 27:4, emphasize the posture of being with God, while Deuteronomy 6:4–9 emphasizes the shaping of identity and character—becoming like Him.

In each case, I aim to demonstrate how these Scriptures not only support the three core movements of the Practicing the Way model but also reinforce the subcategories I’ve added as practical steps for spiritual growth. Viewed through these biblical lenses, this discipleship path emerges not merely as a helpful guide but as one deeply rooted in the grand narrative of Scripture—from Moses to the Messiah, from the Psalms to the epistles. What unfolds is a rich tapestry of biblical wisdom that reveals this pathway as more than a modern strategy for discipleship—it is God’s timeless invitation: to walk with Him, be shaped by Him, and join Him in His redemptive mission.
