How do we increase grace? As we learned in episode 98, grace is God’s action in our lives. James Bryan Smith explains how we can increase the grace of God in our lives through spiritual disciplines. Richard Foster was the first person to explain to James about the spiritual disciplines. The spiritual disciplines (prayer, solitude, etc…) are ways we place ourselves before God so that God can transform us.

In this episode, James invites you to engage in spiritual practices to help increase the grace of God in your life. Smith closes the episode with one key distinction about spiritual practices. Do not let legalism creep into your spiritual disciplines, this can’t be stressed enough. We must be sure we are doing these practices to create space for grace, not to merit anything. Grace is God’s action in our lives.
