In this episode of the Branch Podcast, Pastors Chris Reed, Matthew Johnson, and Anthony Lombardi unpack what pastors really mean when they encourage everyday practices like reading the Bible, prayer, worship, going to church, and loving your neighbor.

Rather than presenting these as religious checklists, the conversation focuses on how these disciplines are meant to shape a real, ongoing relationship with God. The pastors discuss approachable ways to engage Scripture without formal training, prayer as an honest and continual conversation with God, worship as a lifestyle that re-centers the heart, and why consistent participation in the local church matters. They also explore what it looks like to love your neighbor through attentiveness and commitment to others’ good.

This episode is both grounding and practical for anyone wondering how to grow in faith one step at a time.
