Many of us practice prayer, worship, Bible reading, fasting, and meditation—but often they can feel like boxes to tick rather than pathways to knowing God more deeply. In this episode, we’ll explore where these disciplines truly fit within our daily devotions. Are they duties we must perform, or are they invitations to intimacy? Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy that physical training has some value, but godliness is valuable in every way—holding promise for this life and the life to come. Join us as we discover how these spiritual practices can move beyond routine into relationship, shaping our hearts to love Christ more." Demetri, Karen and Ruan share some of their experiences together with principles from God's Word.
