What is Ethos?
Ethos is a personalised tool that helps you explore how your values align with your actions. It invites the curious, the questioning and the convinced to discover how ancient biblical practices can bring lasting transformation to everyday life.
This isn’t a personality test to tell you who you are, it’s a guide to the person you’re becoming.
How it works
Ethos begins by suggesting new habits ‒ ancient spiritual practices that act as antidotes to the modern stories and patterns that pull us away from a truly human life.
These practices are rooted in the God Story revealed in the Bible and centred on the person of Jesus ‒ the most fully human life ever lived. Through his life, death and resurrection, we’re invited to share in that same good, true and beautiful way of being human.
As you try these spiritual practices, you’ll begin to see how they reshape your story, helping you live more deeply, more freely, and more like the person you were always meant to be.
How to Be Human
Being human is all about stories and habits.
We are storied creatures; we live our lives as if we’re telling a story. The stories we tell ourselves, and the ones the world tells us, shape who we believe we are and what we think life is for.
But we’re also habitual creatures; we become what we repeatedly do. Our habits form us. The small, everyday choices we make don’t just influence how we live, they shape who we’re becoming.
These stories and habits don’t exist in isolation. They work together, creating a feedback loop that reinforces both what we believe and how we behave. In other words, the stories we live by and the habits we practise are foundational to our humanity. They create the ethos we live by.
So, the question becomes:
- What story are you living into?
- How are your habits shaping who you’re becoming?
