FORMATION
Welcome to our Formation Learning Hub, a space designed to help you grow as an apprentice of Jesus. This hub is here to guide you through this season of Formation, providing the tools and resources you need to deepen your faith. Together, we’ll explore what it means to:
-
Be with Jesus: Cultivate a deeper relationship with Him through intentional spiritual rhythms.
-
Become like Jesus: Allow His character to shape who you are and how you live.
-
Do what He did: Learn how to embody the practices of Jesus in your everyday life.
Join us on this journey of transformation as we live into the fullness of life that Jesus invites us to experience.
THE
CONNECTED
LIFE
Our current series, The Connected Life, explores how a new relationship with God reshapes every other relationship in our lives — with ourselves, with the people closest to us, and even with those hard to love.
To go deeper with the themes from the weekend, we've put together a collection of books, podcasts, and practical resources on friendship, marriage, parenting, sexuality, integrity, and loving our neighbors well.
Drawing from voices like Tim Keller, Nancy Pearcey, and others who've shaped this series, these resources create space to sit with what God is doing in your relationships — and to let His Word continue the conversation beyond Sunday.

MESSAGES
In John 14:6, Jesus says, “I am the Way.” To follow Jesus is more than believing in Him—it’s an invitation to apprenticeship. He invites you to follow Him so that He can transform your life from the inside out.
At White Oak, we believe that transformation isn’t about doing more but doing less—simplifying our lives to focus on what truly matters. This series invites us to disrupt the patterns of our busy, distracted, and hurried world and apprentice ourselves to Jesus, learning His way of life in the Kingdom of God.

Podcast
How can I arrange my life to apprentice under Jesus?
The Rule of Life podcast is designed to guide you in arranging your everyday life around being with and becoming like Jesus. Each season will cover one of nine ancient Practices from the Way of Jesus: Sabbath, Prayer, Fasting, Solitude, Scripture, Community, Simplicity, Generosity, and Hospitality.
You’ll hear from pastors, thought leaders, and everyday apprentices of Jesus, all hosted by John Mark Comer and produced by Practicing the Way.
Each season will be released alongside a Practice - a four week long experience created by Practicing the Way, designed to integrate these ancient practices into your everyday life.
