A new year often brings the desire to change habits. Prof. James K.A. Smith presents that growth in the Christian life is a matter of “rehabituation”: re-“habit”-ing our hearts to love what God loves. But we can’t think our way to new habits. Instead, new habits of the heart are shaped by disciplines and practices that recalibrate our affections. We explore why the embodied, communal practices of worship are the hub of the Spirit’s sanctification.
