Check out these episode highlights:

03.03 – How busy I was when I competed in bodybuilding on top of a demanding job that required me to [sometimes] work longer than 8 hours a day. 

03.38 – I had to get creative with how I went about my days because I WANTED to get in the Word. Having other commitments made it difficult for me to be consistent. 

04.53 – How to Have High-Quality Bible Study Time In Just 10 Minutes (A Quick Study of 1 Peter 5:7)

05.26 – Step #1: Read the Whole Chapter 
I timed myself reading this while preparing, and I read it out loud, with pauses/no rushing, in under 2 minutes and 8 seconds. If on a slower pace, you can still read it in 3 MINUTES! 

08.00 – Step #2: Come Back and Focus On Just the Verse
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

• How do you focus on just the verse? Write and recite it. It will take you MAYBE 3-4 minutes.

8.30 – Step #3: Pray or Sing the Verse
“Lord, I know I can cast my anxiety on you because you care for me. Father, I trust that Your Spirit will help them to do that, in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

09.03 – This is not a test. Instead, this is how I studied for a long, long time. Naturally, if you want to dig deeper, you can AND should! If you have that hunger for God’s Word and want more, please indulge it. 

09.48 – I pray that the Lord would give you a deep hunger for His Word and that He would help you adjust your perspective to see that HIS WORD is the true nourishment of your soul. 

10.12 – Remember, quiet time is about transformation, not going through the motions. 

Now, I know that some of you might still struggle because you are doing ALL the things, ALL the time. You have demanding lives and lots of responsibilities. Is this you?

• You want to get consistent, but prioritizing is a struggle because everything is competing for your attention, energy, and time. Yeah, everything really does seem important because it IS important. 

• Maybe you are one of those people who struggle with discipline. While you’ve tried, you haven’t been able to stay consistent, and you don’t know why. 

• Perhaps this isn’t the only area of your life in which you struggle with consistency. You do not know what the root cause is. You only know that sticking with anything is a struggle.

11.23 – The importance of Godly mentorship

• Titus 2:11-13 says, “11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,”
