Episode notes
Integrate God Into Daily Life
- Don't compartmentalize your relationship with God; invite God into everyday activities like work, hobbies, and chores.
- Use spiritual disciplines (prayer, Scripture, fasting) as tools to cultivate abiding, not as a checklist for God's love.
Abiding Is Identity, Not Performance
- Abiding in Christ is a posture of identity, not a performance of religious tasks.
- You are loved because of Jesus, not because of your quiet time or prayer minutes.
Use Disciplines To Aid Abiding
- Bring an intentional perspective of abiding into routine moments and conversations with friends.
- Use disciplines to help you remain connected, but remember disciplines alone are not the same as abiding.
