What If...Sample

At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

SPEND TIME WITH GOD

There's no formula or one right way to spend time with God. Whether you already know how you like to spend time with God, or you're still trying to understand how to hear God's voice, today's challenge is going to help you experiment with some new ways of connecting with God. Try it and see what you discover about God—and about yourself, too!

CHALLENGE

As we can see in John 15, our ability to meet someone else's needs flows out of our connection to God. For this challenge, think of a place you can volunteer or serve in the next few weeks. Before you go, talk to God about what you can expect and how you can ready yourself for the experience. You can talk to God while you're there, too! Sometimes, doing something new is a great way to open ourselves to a new spiritual practice. Afterward, journal or record a video of you talking about how your time serving others was shaped by the time you'd spent with God beforehand.
