We often find ourselves knowing what the Bible teaches but struggling to live it out. This podcast dives into why we find it so challenging to follow instructions in the Bible and explores five ways to become more disciplined in our faith.
Understanding Christian Discipline
Being a disciplined Christian means more than just knowing the teachings of the Bible; it’s about living in obedience to God’s Word, guided by the Holy Spirit, and growing consistently in our faith and character. It’s aligning our thoughts, actions, and desires with God’s will, often through habits such as prayer, studying scripture, worshiping, and serving others. However, many struggle with this discipline despite knowing its importance. Even Paul acknowledged this battle, as noted in Romans 7:19-20. The root of this struggle is our sinful nature, but with Jesus, we can strive towards the goal of obedience.
This podcast digs in to these 5 reason why we don’t do what we want to do and offers solutions on how to start doing what you want to do:
- Selective Spiritual Hearing
- Serious Case of Procrastination
- Frozen with Fear
- Stuck in a Comfort Zone
- Trying to Fix Yourself
The Path Forward
Discipline is not an overnight achievement; it’s a continual process of trying, learning, and trying again. Paul reminds us to press on towards the goal because the victory of overcoming sin has been won through Jesus. So, when you feel tempted to sidestep biblical wisdom, remember that each nudge is a divine opportunity to grow and laugh at yourself. Through grace, every stumble is covered, allowing you the freedom to pursue Christian discipline one obedient step at a time. So, go ahead—embrace those biblical habits and discipline.
