On this episode of Is That Like a Thing podcast, we’re talking what spending time with the Lord actually looks like for all of us. We break free of the stereotypical term “quiet time” and we break down all the different (and varying) ways to seek Jesus on a daily basis. It’s challenging and encouraging as we learn how to conquer obstacles, lack of desire, and just plain old negative self-talk.  Join us on this episode to get some practical tips on how to study the bible on your own, what has been helpful for each of us in all the different seasons we’ve walked through. We know you’ll find this episode reassuring if your personal time with the Lord doesn’t look like what it used to or even what you think it’s supposed to! Thanks for listening.

EPISODE NOTES
“Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He will do it.” Psalm 37:5

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
    and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
    giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
    it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
    and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:10-11

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8
