Spiritual growth requires more than good intentions. It requires training. https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/08/19/train-yourself-for-godliness-the-discipline-of-a-life-devoted-to-christ/ In 1 Timothy 4:7–8, Paul tells Timothy: “Instead, train yourself for godliness.” Just as physical strength is developed through consistency, spiritual maturity grows as we intentionally spend time in God’s Word, pray, worship, serve, repent, and obey. The question isn’t simply, “Do I want to grow closer to God?” The deeper question is: What am I doing consistently that is training me to become more like Jesus? Our newest blog looks at Paul’s challenge to reject distractions, develop spiritual discipline, and invest our lives in something that has value not only for today—but for eternity. 📖 Read: “Train Yourself for Godliness: The Discipline of a Life Devoted to Christ” Don’t underestimate ordinary obedience practiced consistently. Read the Word. Pray. Worship. Serve. Repent. Reflect. Obey.
