3. Meditation Leads to Stability, Strength, and Spiritual Fruit
4. Forgetfulness, Not Ignorance, is our Biggest Spiritual Problem
5. Memorization is a Weapon in the Fight of Faith

7. Meditation is a form of Self-Watching and Soul-Guarding.

From Series: "The Life God Has Always Wanted For You"

The life God desires for you isn’t about performing for him — it’s about celebrating life with him. It isn’t earned through effort, or reserved for the ultra-righteous. It’s a life shaped by joy, peace, purpose, and transformation — and it begins with grace.

Spiritual habits like prayer, reading scripture, solitude, and fasting aren’t religious checkboxes. Those disciplines are invitations. Gifts. Graces. They’re how we train our hearts to hear God’s voice, know his love, and live in his freedom. This life with God is about becoming who you were always meant to be and rejoicing along the way. Join us to discover how these practices can become pathways, not pressure, to the life God always intended for you.
