Prioritize Spiritual Formation
- Spiritual formation matters more than communication or conferences for shaping lasting Christian identity.
- Jude argues we must prioritize Christocentric shaping so Christ is formed in people, not just influenced by speakers.
Practice God's Presence Daily
- Practice the presence of God daily by treating ordinary tasks as acts of worship.
- Use Brother Lawrence's example to train awareness of God's manifested presence in normal life.
Make Prayer Foundational
- Recommit your church to sustained prayer as a foundational practice, not a last resort.
