When we start following Jesus, we expect our lives to change in big ways. But sometimes it can feel like we’re going through the motions and our lives stay the same. So on this season of You’ve Heard It Said, we set out to learn how we can experience the transformational faith the Bible talks about. What we learned is that we can use spiritual practices to fuel our growth and our relationship with God and others.

This season, we’ll answer questions like:

• • What’s the purpose or goal of spiritual practices?
  • Does Jesus care about our spiritual practices?
  • Which spiritual practices should I start with?
  • What are some lesser-known spiritual practices? And what does it look like to try them for myself?
  • What is hospitality, and how does it grow my faith in Jesus?
  • What happens when I’m doing the “right” things and God doesn’t meet my expectations?

Remember, we only have one rule on the podcast: Don’t listen unless you’re talking with others about what you hear. Use these episodes as a launching pad for great conversations with your LifeGroup, friends, and family.

Here’s how to use this content in your LifeGroup:

1. Listen to each episode individually before meeting up together.
2. Use the Conversation Guide to discuss the episode during your LifeGroup. Once you’ve talked about the episode, find a next step to take, either individually or as a LifeGroup.
3. That’s it! Do you still have questions? Check out this article to learn more about using podcast content within your LifeGroup.
