there has kind of become a trend of creating a materialistic quiet time.

We need all of this stuff to meet God.

We need a really fancy Bible Bible or we need a bunch of

highlighters. Maybe we need stickers and a cute living room and by the time we're

done we have this magnificent Instagram set of how to study the Bible.

And we've actually missed the entire point.

Welcome back to Verity Podcast.

I'm Felicia Masonheimer, your host, the founder of

every woman a theologian, and this is the beginner-believer series of Verity.

In this series we are talking about all of the basics of the Christian life,

understanding the gospel, sanctification, how to hear God's voice and walk by the

Holy Spirit, and today we're going to talk about something called a quiet time.

What is it?

Why do we need it?

Does it matter?

And honestly, the name is a little bit, maybe weird.

So if you've never heard of it before,

it's okay, you're not alone.

It's a very American Westernized concept, however, there is a form of it found throughout church history

in many different cultures and times.

And so we're going to talk about what the core idea is in this concept of a quiet time

and what it means for you as a believer in Christ.
