We’re wrapping up the first month of the Fall Spiritual Workout Plan—so how’s it going? In this bonus episode, Mark Vance and Emily Jensen pause to answer common questions about the SWP, share how it began, and offer encouragement for staying consistent as we reach the middle stretch of this 18-week journey.

They remind us that the plan isn’t about perfection or performance, but about building daily habits that draw us closer to Christ. Whether you’re just getting started or already five weeks in, this episode will help you see the bigger picture of why daily prayer, Scripture, and reflection matter for a growing faith.
