In today’s episode, I shared three practical strategies that have helped me prioritize God in every season of life. These consistent practices have allowed me to deepen my relationship with Him overtime.
Segment 1: Start Small and Build a Routine

• Starting with small so that you can be consistent (5-10 minutes daily).
• Quote: Zachariah 4:10 - "Do not despise the small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin."
• Tips for building a routine:
  • Setting a specific time for daily Bible reading.
  • Using tools like Bible apps, online devotionals, or listen to the podcast.
• Quote: Psalm 119:105 - "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

Segment 2: Integrate Scripture into Daily Life

• Incorporate Scripture into everyday life.
• Quote: Deuteronomy 6:6-7 - "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
• Practical integration methods:
  • Listening to podcasts, sermons or spiritual music during commutes or chores.
  • Placing Bible verses around the home or workspace.
  • Using waiting times for reading or meditation.
  • Quote: Joshua 1:8 - "Keep this book of the law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."

Segment 3: Find Accountability and Community

• Importance of accountability and community in spiritual growth!
• Quote: Hebrews 10:24-25 - "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up, meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the day approaching."
• Ways to find accountability:
  • Joining a Bible study group or spiritual book club.
  • Partnering with a friend for regular check-ins.
  • Finding a spiritual mentor or coach.
  • Joining online communities (such as my Private Facebook Group).
• Quote: Proverbs 27:17 - "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

Conclusion

• Be patient and consistent in your spiritual growth. Remember, it is not a sprint but more like a marathon! :)
• Quote: Philippians 1:6 - "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
• Call to action: Share stories and struggles on social media or in the Facebook group.
