What does it truly mean to practice our faith? Beyond just showing up to church, are we embracing the lifestyle Jesus modeled? In our busy and materialistic world, the ancient ways of Jesus can seem impractical or even radical. However, committing to these countercultural habits allows God to transform our hearts and empower us to live out our calling.

In this episode of The His and Her Money Show, we are joined by John Mark Comer, pastor and bestselling author of Practicing the Way, to explore the obstacles and solutions to authentically following Jesus day to day.

John Mark shares his personal journey with spiritual formation and offers practical guidance through his "Rule of Life" framework. By setting goals to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did, we can reconnect to a vibrant faith. Comer explains how disciplines of solitude, community, simplicity, and Sabbath create space for God to change us from the inside out.

Tune in to learn the differences between being a disciple and just a Christian, why Jesus' teachings seem upside-down in our culture, how our habits and relationships profoundly shape us, the power of believing new stories, and more. Discover timeless wisdom for practicing the presence of Jesus and living out your purpose.
