Is your devotional life growing cold—even though you’re still reading the Bible?

If you’ve been walking with Christ for years, this video is for you.

Many faithful Christians experience seasons where their Bible reading and prayer feel dry, stale, or routine. In this video, I want to reassure you: don’t panic—and don’t quit. Instead, you may need to change the way you’re engaging Scripture so the fire keeps burning.

Using the image of throwing new logs on the fire, I walk through practical, biblical, and time-tested ways to revitalize your devotional life without abandoning consistency.

In this video, we cover:

Why spiritual coldness happens to mature Christians

The three legs of a healthy devotional life (private, family, and church)

Why quitting your Bible plan is not the solution

When and how to change your devotional format

Reading vs. listening vs. writing—and when each helps most

How switching Bibles, translations, or study formats can help

Why listening to Scripture while reading increases focus

The spiritual benefits of walking, journaling, and note-taking

When God may be calling you to write—journals, prayers, or even a book

This video is especially helpful if:

You’ve read the Bible for years but feel spiritually stuck

Your January Bible plan is already feeling heavy

You struggle with distraction during devotions

You want to grow without becoming mechanical

You’re in ministry and feeling devotional fatigue
