Summary

What if to spending time with God consistently isn't about balancing your time, but about something entirely different? I am learning that instead of trying to balance God with other areas of my life, the key is integration - weaving Him into every moment and every decision. In this episode, I share how I plan on making God my closest friend and practical ways I'm learning to spend consistent, intimate time with Him for 2025. I explore simple yet powerful practices that have helped me grow closer to God. Join me as I discuss how to move beyond treating time with God as just another checkbox and instead make Him the center of everything. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
