Christian Living

Prayer doesn't require us to be "put together"; the key to a lasting habit is to approach God messy and weary, just as we are.

The firebrand who translated the Bible admitted he was a beginner at prayer, and his advice to his barber shows that the biggest barrier between us and God is not technique but a heart that doubts he's listening.

For centuries, Christians mostly heard Scripture rather than read it. Could listening help us see truths we missed in the text?

The simple habit of reading or listening to Scripture may shape spiritual growth more than almost any other practice, and it begins without guilt, with small, sustainable steps.

Meaningful growth requires a consistent plan focused on three core practices: regular Bible engagement, prayer, and active church participation, which become habits over time.
