Thank you for a helpful post, and congratulations on the publication!
Roadblocks 5 and 6 seem especially pertinent for my small group and church. I've mentioned dispositions in general when teaching on the disciplines, but never so specifically as to try to relate specific traits to specific disciplines. Is there a source you could share on this? I'm interested in reading more.
It seems like roadblocks 6 and 7 are likely to be heavily bolstered the environment of cultural/consumer Christianity. Actually, I think all seven points you mentioned may be closely related to that plague.
One thing I've also observed is the tendency to view "discipline" negatively. To teach against this, I have gone so far as to call them "Spiritual opportunities", as they are time-honored opportunities in which Christians may embrace the will of God for their sanctification.
This is really helpful thank you. Your definition gives permission to bring creative with exploring new forms of disciplines as well as diving deep into ancient ones.

THIS is breathtaking, Griffin. Well done, sir.
Truly could not have done it without your “Bringing Out Old Treasures” article, compadre! Many many thanks to you.
