Let Pastor Dave walk you through the journal in this super quick overview (click full-screen).

Every Christ-Follower needs to meet with God regularly. But too often our devotion time ends up providing no meaningful interaction with God. Join our ministry team as we walk you through real devotion time with God.

Committing to the daily practice of genuine interaction with God, in His Word and led by His Spirit, is critical in the transformation of a Christian’s life. This goes beyond the casual reading of scripture or skimming through a ready-made devotional. We must get into the disciplined habit of truly getting alone with God and mastering the art of intersecting God’s Word with our life. When we are guided by the Holy Spirit and begin to truly apply God’s Living Word to our lives, we will be transformed. (Rom. 12:1-2)

Begin with prayer to get your heart ready to interact with God's Word.

MEDITATE
Meditate on God’s Word. Find a quiet place. Get alone with God. Slow down and mull over the passage several times slowly and purposefully, being aware of the surrounding context. What is God’s Word saying? What spiritual truth stands out to you? Write your thoughts to help you dig in.

APPLY
Applying God’s Word is the inward acknowledgment of the truths that the Holy Spirit is impressing on your heart - for your life personally and specifically. Staying within the context, write how the spiritual truths in this passage apply to your life today.

RESPOND
How will you respond to how the Holy Spirit applied God’s Word to your life today? What faithful, obedient action can you take to make these truths real in your current circumstances? Spiritual, relational, or physical, how is the Holy Spirit calling you to respond?

PRAY
Complete your time alone with God with a prayer. Write your prayer according to what God has impressed on you and what you have experienced in his presence today. Pray to align your heart with God’s will.
