Dr. Don Whitney Discusses Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life
Manage episode 440588078 series 3475202
Have you ever read the Bible and almost immediately forgotten what you just read on the page? The problem may not be memory, but method. Dr. Don Whitney, professor and author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, has candid advice for people approaching Scripture: “Read less, meditate more.”
Though it may sound counterproductive, this approach for absorbing God's Word is a critical step toward spiritual growth. To read Scripture is one thing, but to retain it in a way that fills and changes you is quite another. And yet this is just one of the several spiritual disciplines that help believers draw nearer to Jesus.
On today's episode of the Great Stories podcast, Don Whitney and David Wollen discuss disciplines such as Bible reading, meditating, prayer, fasting, and other biblical practices for the purpose of godliness. Practical and grace-filled, we pray this conversation will inspire you to make spiritual disciplines a daily part of your Christian life.
