After learning to walk with God and have a healthy relationship with him, then we can focus on working alongside him wherever he is at with anyone we come in contact with. The lost need saved and the saved need to grow... and we get to take part in that process! First, we take a look at evangelism.

Once we understand the strength training principles of Discipleship and how to study the Bible, now we talk about why we need to memorize the Bible. Learning how to hide God's word in your heart through memorization is critical to our daily faithfulness and overall strength training.

Part 2 of strength training focuses on how to study the Bible and the tools that can be used to help with this process. If we are to be obedient to 2 Timothy 2:15 to study to show ourselves approved of God, then we need to become biblical students of the scriptures.

After learning how to intimately walk with God on a consistent basis, the next step is learning how to grow stronger in our personal relationship with God... that is where discipleship comes into play. Discipleship is something created in the mind of God to help us be the ambassadors we are called to be for the Lord.

This is the 2nd part of the prayer aspect of our communication with God. This lesson focuses on praying in secret and praying with importunity. Both are highly misunderstood and neglected, but both are critical to having a real, thriving prayer life with the Lord.

After "Keeping your heart" and "Reading the Bible" we now talk about "Prayer"... This one will last for a couple of episodes. Prayer is a topic that we always need to keep in front of us! We live in a day and age where we struggle to find time, especially for God. The reality is that there is time for what we truly want. It always comes back to our individual heart and priorities. We need to understand prayer as a priority and learn how to pray.

Moving from learning how to keep your heart, we focus on reading the Bible and making it a top priority in our lives. The Bible is how we hear from God, which is one of the two critical aspects of our communication with him. If we are not willing to hear God then it is impossible to have a true and healthy relationship with him.

Continuing our series from several weeks ago, this time we have now is more critical than ever to make sure that we know how to walk with God and have good, quality, intimate time with him through prayer and reading the Bible. The key to all this is our heart. In part 1 of this section of the series we discuss what it means to keep your heart and how to do this biblically.

In this discussion today we hit Jesus' first miracle: turning water into wine. We also hit many other good observations and questions. Enjoy!

In this discussion we go over John chapter 1 with all our questions and things that God taught us. Tomorrow will be John chapter 2!
