Timberline Student Ministries High School

Spiritual Practices: Formed not Performed: Part III: Solitude

We heard from our one and only this week!

Y’all asked for the three challenge levels for solitude practice this week so here you go:

🔹 LEVEL 1 (starter): Spend 5-10 minutes ONE TIME this week alone/quiet (no music, no phone, no TV, no reading) with God. Just be yourself with Him. Breathe/be quiet.

🔹 LEVEL 2 (mid-level challenge): Set aside 5 minutes every other day this week. For that 5 minutes: spend 1 minute taking deep breaths (exhale your distractions/worries, and on your inhales think about God’s love). Spend 2 minutes sitting/being quiet—let God see your unfiltered self! Spend the last 2 minutes focusing on God’s presence or a piece of Scripture you already know (Psalm 23 for example!). 

🔹LEVEL 3 (most challenging): Take 45 minutes one day this week where you don’t have to hurry to do anything. Put a timer and then PUT YOUR PHONE FAR AWAY! Be still/quiet with God. Breathe! Bring your journal. Write down how you are. Ask God what he thinks. Read a Psalm over and over again.

Remember—you’re doing this not to perform for God or earn something, you’re creating space for Him to form you!!

See ya next Tuesday: 6:45 - 8:00 pm

A night of good food, loud laughs, and a community that showed up.

Watching students say yes to mission trips—and watching our church rally behind them—was something special.

What a gift to do this together.

(Whether you were in front of the camera or behind it, just know that you made a difference! You matter! Thanks for showing up and saying yes.)

What a FUN NIGHT!

It’s Holy Week. So NO HS Small Group tonight.

Take this week to pause and reflect on God’s redemptive story and how your story is woven into His story. Remember, you’re a big deal and your story matters. And let this just sink in, Easter isn’t just a story you hear—it’s one you’re invited into.
