A testimony that is not nourished daily can crumble
Developing virtuous character traits, akin to those seen in figures like Helaman, Nephi, and Lehi, requires consistent daily engagement with spiritual practices. The concept of spiritual momentum emphasizes the necessity of regularly nurturing one's faith to prevent a decline in testimony. Inadequate daily spiritual nourishment can rapidly lead to a crumbling faith, as underscored by the dangers of neglecting spiritual experiences. Research in adolescent religious development identifies spiritual experiences as the key predictor for maintaining church participation, indicating that, while supportive social networks and educational programs are beneficial, they are not substitutes for personal, daily interactions with the divine. Engaging in daily worship and gospel study is therefore essential for fostering resilience in faith, suggesting that neglecting these practices poses significant risks to spiritual well-being.
