Consistency Over Intensity: Why Bible Reading Is Harder Than It Should Be S2.1


Listen Later

The new year often comes with big goals, big plans, and big spiritual intentions. But what actually sustains growth over time isn’t dramatic moments—it’s daily devotion.

In this first episode of Season 2, James is joined by Jorge and Manny for a grounded, honest conversation about Bible reading, spiritual rhythms, and the power of small, consistent faithfulness. Together, they explore why reading Scripture can feel difficult, how guilt and pressure often derail good intentions, and why God seems to work more through quiet obedience than loud resolutions.

This episode isn’t about reading plans you’ll abandon by February—it’s about forming habits that last.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • Why Bible reading feels harder than it should—and why that’s normal

  • The danger of turning spiritual disciplines into pressure instead of practice

  • How small, daily obedience compounds into real transformation

  • Why consistency matters more than intensity

  • Letting go of guilt-driven faith and embracing grace-filled growth

  • The difference between dramatic spiritual moments and sustained spiritual maturity

Key Takeaway:

Big intentions are fulfilled by small, daily faithfulness.

You don’t grow spiritually by doing everything at once—you grow by showing up again tomorrow.

Who This Episode Is For:

  • Anyone starting a new year with spiritual goals

  • Listeners who struggle to stay consistent with Bible reading

  • Believers who feel discouraged by past failed plans

  • Leaders looking to encourage sustainable spiritual growth
