We’re kicking off the new year with a new series on the spiritual disciplines. My prayer for us is that through the Spiritual Health series we would grow in spiritual health. 

That the habits you either establish or continue would bring hope and joy and peace and freedom. 

That this year, you’ll continue to be transformed more and more in the image of Christ by these practices that shape who you are becoming. 

In this interview, writer Amber Palmer shares with us:

  • one easy step to take when you don’t have time to read the Bible
  • what to do when you feel like you’re not getting anything out of reading the Bible – like maybe complacency has set in,
  • and what to do with the parts of the Bible we don’t understand or agree with.

Amber reminds us that God just wants to do life with us, that He doesn’t require stillness or silence. You’ll leave encouraged to ask God those hard questions, and you’ll know how you can transfer studying the Bible so it doesn’t just stay as head knowledge but as Someone you experience.
