BONUS: How Do I Have a Quiet Time? 10 Tips


Listen Later

"I'm excited about this because I used to feel guilty that my 'quiet time' didn't look like other people's...and also when I became a new mom, I also felt guilty that [it] didn't look like it used to look."

— Vera Schmitz

Today's Episode: What's a quiet time? And how exactly do I go about having one? Today, Vera and Natalie share their own habits and practices of spending time with God. They share 10 different ways, here's the list: 

  1. Write out a passage that really speaks to you.
  2. Spend time learning what it means.
  3. Rewrite it in your own words.
  4. Pray the passage back to God.  
  5. Ask yourself questions about the passage. (I.e. Am I believing this? Am I living like this is true?)
  6. Write a list of ways that you are or are not living out the truths in the passage. 
  7. Memorize a verse from the passage. Speak it back to yourself throughout the day.
  8. Recite the verse in a "breath exercise."
  9. Spend time coloring the verse. 
  10. Talk to others about what you're learning.
