| 0:14.3 | I believe when it comes to this goal of getting closer to God it can be so vague at times we don't really know what it's supposed to look like and honestly how we can apply it to our everyday life and whenever we think about the idea or we ask somebody else they're typically going to tell us that we need to get in our word more we need to |
| 0:17.8 | pray we need a fast stay in community which is true and exactly what we're |
| 0:21.9 | supposed to do but I then think another question arises in terms of how does this actually |
| 0:27.6 | apply to my everyday life? How can I integrate this into what I do daily? So in this episode I'm really going to break down five |
| 0:34.8 | different ways in which you can like practically be getting closer to God and what |
| 0:39.7 | that looks like to make sure it's something that you do every single day. |

| 1:14.8 | and there's so many facets to him. |

| 1:20.8 | and depth that we can go in terms of knowing who he is and just |
| 1:25.1 | growing in our spirituality. And this was interesting because this came about |
| 1:29.9 | earlier this week whenever I was praying and I was honestly asking God to give me a grace to be able to |
| 1:35.3 | Communicate old ideas in new ways so when it comes to the timeless irrefutable principles of the Bible |
| 1:47.0 | breaking that down in a way that people can understand and I can even really grab on to myself. And that was inspired because I've been going through the Gospels recently and just looking at Jesus and how he spoke in parables and he took all these |
