Going deeper with Ninefold Path

Our Ninefold Path resource is for groups and churches who are looking for fresh ways to engage with the Bible and put the words of Jesus into practice. Vicki Price told us her experience of using Ninefold Path to help her and her community explore and go deeper in their faith:

“I am training for lay pioneer ministry in the Church of England, and I use the Ninefold Path to prepare services or small group discussions, because there are loads of nuggets of practical truth that are easy to share and accessible for people, especially if they are new to faith or thinking what it means to be a Christian. It’s a helpful tool to get into deep things really quickly.

“I find all of the beatitudes helpful, and I know that whatever the session or service theme I’m preparing, there’s always going to be something from one of the ‘beats’, because they resonate with everything. There’s a theme that goes through the beatitudes that you can’t get away from – the core of what it means to live out faith.”

Available as the Ninefold Path Notebook and Learning Lab Group Guide, Ninefold Path has been designed for use either individually or in a group. Each beatitude (or “beat”) offers a short invitation for us to read, reflect on, and wrestle with. Then, there are three practices or experiments that give the opportunity to put the words of Jesus into action in our daily lives.
