Do you ever feel stuck in your spiritual journey, seeking consistency and depth? In a special episode of the Believe Again podcast, I had a conversation with Noah Herrin, author of "Holy Habits," about the power of spiritual disciplines. Here are four key steps from our discussion to rejuvenate your spiritual life.
1. Cultivate Intimacy with Jesus Beyond a Schedule
Our spiritual growth begins with deepening our relationship with Jesus. Noah Herrin emphasizes the importance of intentional time with God, stating, "In any relationship, if you're not intentionally putting aside time to get to know someone, that relationship is going to suffer." It's about going beyond just learning about God, and instead, fostering a living, breathing relationship with Him.
2. Embrace Spiritual Disciplines as Opportunities, Not Obligations
Transform your perspective on spiritual disciplines from a 'have to' to a 'want to.' Noah remarks, "It's about falling in love with spending time with Jesus." This shift is crucial for a more meaningful and willing engagement in your spiritual practices.
3. Implement Practical Steps for Spiritual Growth
Noah introduced "Read it and Choose it," a concept focusing on the application of God's truths. He asserts, "You're not changed by the truth you know. You're changed by the truth you do." Actively living by these truths leads to significant personal transformation.
4. Understand the Power of Repentance
Noah views repentance as a critical habit for spiritual growth, describing it as "getting good at coming home." He believes that we grow more like Jesus not through perfection, but through consistent repentance and realignment with God's will.
Reflecting on our discussion, the journey to a deeper relationship with God is paved with daily, intentional habits. Noah's insights offer a roadmap to a rejuvenating spiritual life.
