Show Notes:

We need other voices to come along side us to teach us about the truth of scripture.

Psalm 63: "Oh God you are my God..." - A good paradigm for looking for a devotional book that helps you with spiritual growth.

A good devotional book based on Psalm 63:

1. Stirs something inside you.
2. Helps you become more of who you are in Christ.
3. Contributes to a sense of awe and reverence for God.

A pilgrimage is the metaphor through which to understand discipleship.

What you do on the platform is determined by what you do in the prayer closet.

Your private faithfulness will dictate your public fruitfulness.

Brent's Book

The Cross of Christ - John Stott

The Cross is undeniably at the center of human history.

The Cross of Christ is at the center of the Mission of God.

This is a book that can be read by a 15 or a 50 year old– and they will both get something good out of it.

A good book helps you grow in your faith and should be read more than once.

Spiritual Direction: Wisdom for the Long Walk of Faith - Henri J. M. Nouwen

The Five Core Questions of the Spiritual Life:

1. Who am I?
2. Where have a been and where am I going?
3. Who is God to me?
4. Where do I belong?
5. How can I be of service?

The practice of unceasing prayer:

1. Cry out to God our all our needs and requests
2. Turn our unceasing thoughts into a conversation with God
3. Learn to listen to God in our hearts through meditation

We must push away from the business of life.

We must always and continually go back to the basics.

Everyone you read has flaws, brokenness, and personal struggles. And this will either help or hinder their writing.
