Happy New Year! Steve, Rich and Sarah are back in the studio and are looking forward to this new year. Steve begins by encouraging all of us to put some plans together for this year, specifically in the area of spiritual disciplines. These are things that can be looked at on the micro and macro level. Spiritual disciplines are arguably the most important things to focus on not just in the new year but each day! A good place to start would be thinking through how to be a better student of God's word. Rich gets personal and shares about his study of the Bible has shared in the last six years. A major goal Steve encourages is making it a goal to read through the entire Bible in 2025. Being only a week into the new year there is still plenty of time to start! Another approach to take would be committing to study one book of the Bible for several months to really dig into all the layers. The conversation then shifts slightly as Rich emphasizes the importance of not just being in the Word but being in the church with God's people. It is so important to understand that it will take work and commitment but that it is more than worth it. Rich, Steve and Sarah all give practical tips on how to dive deeper into a church community. Make 2025 a year that you grow deeper with the Lord and His people!
