#216 - Practicing the Way of Jesus

March 25, 2025 • Sun Valley Community Church

In this episode, Chad and Robert unpack why spiritual disciplines like prayer, worship, and even fasting aren’t about earning God’s love but creating space to experience His presence and transformation. They explore the difference between trying and training, how to find disciplines that fit your personality, and why fasting still matters today.
