Summary

Hello Friends! Something we often think about at the top of the year is transformation. This is the process of changing our lives around for the better. In today’s episode, I’ll be chatting with author, teacher, and preacher John Mark Comer about something that is crucial for the development of our souls, hearts, and minds: spiritual transformation. This is achieved through disciplines that align us to God so that we can do his will and work for our lives. Biblically speaking, some of the ways to practice and grow in your faith include reading Scripture, prayer, community, fasting, confession, submission, worship, and celebration. This topic of conversation is a bit like quinoa… Perhaps you’ve never tried the tasty, protein-packed superfood. But once you try quinoa (or spiritual disciplines), you’ll see that it’s good for your soul. Trust me. Spiritual transformation cannot be accomplished by our own efforts. However, we do participate in the process by partnering with God. While these aren’t a quick fix for your spirituality, if you create intentional habits and practices, you will find yourself closer to God and more spiritually empowered. If you eat quinoa this week, snap a photo and tag me @BiancaOlthoff so I can celebrate how quinoa is transforming our bodies and how @JohnMarkComer is transforming our minds.

1:17.4	the Galatians, he said this in Galatians 419. He said, my dear children, for whom I am again in pains
1:23.0	of childbirth. Paul's not dramatic at all. I mean, I'm here for it, Paul. It for whom I am again
