The Rule of Life Builder is a free web tool from Practicing the Way that helps you craft habits and rhythms patterned after Jesus — a Rule of Life for you and your community.^1 You drag and drop spiritual disciplines into daily, weekly, and monthly practices. Each practice comes with suggested activities, or you can add your own. When you finish, your Rule lives on a dashboard you can edit, and you can download and print it as a physical reminder.^1
John Mark Comer founded Practicing the Way after nearly two decades as founding pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon. He now develops formation resources and is church planting in the Santa Monica mountains outside Los Angeles.^2 The ministry offers free resources so churches can apprentice in the way of Jesus: be with him, become like him, and do as he did, supported by The Circle and other givers.^2
The practices are Sabbath, prayer, fasting, solitude, generosity, Scripture, community, service, and witness.^2 A companion Rule of Life podcast hosted by Comer walks through ancient practices.^4 Missionary teams have used the builder to shape shared team rhythms.^5
