In this episode, Pastor Nic is joined by his brother, Stanford, and his daughter, Rachel, as they discuss developing their own Rule of Life based on the sermon series we went through in the fall of 2024. The core idea of this episode is how to establish sustainable spiritual practices while accounting for different life stages and circumstances. They emphasize thatwhile morning routines and consistent Bible study are ideal, these practices must be adaptable to different situations, whether it's college life, young parenthood, or professional work. A key insight is that spiritual disciplines aren't meant to be rigid checklist items but rather tools for growth that can be adjusted as needed. The conversation particularly highlights the challenges faced by college students and young parents in maintaining spiritual disciplines, and emphasizes the importance of being able to restart habits without unproductive shame when they lapse. They also explore how responsibilities to others impact our spiritual routines, suggesting that while structure is important, it should be flexible enough to accommodate the needs of those we're called to serve.
