Life in Him Takes Time with Him

We're kicking off a brand-new series exploring five foundational principles that shape a vibrant, Jesus-centered life. Of course, there are countless ways to frame the teachings of Jesus, but these five, in my view, offer a simple yet powerful framework to build upon. They’re easy to grasp, practical to live out, and if you engage with them intentionally, they’ll lead you into a life marked by passion, surrender, and the supernatural reality of God’s kingdom.

To make these principles stick, some friends and I came up with short, memorable phrases—helpful reminders of both the value itself and the invitation it extends to each of us. And today, we’re starting with spending time with Jesus.

Some call it devotionals, others call it quiet time, prayer, or meditation—it doesn’t really matter what you name it or when you do it. Morning, midday, or late at night, one thing is certain:

Life in Him Takes Time with Him.

For me, carving out space to sit with His words, explore fresh ways to engage my heart and mind in His presence, and hold the people in my life in heartfelt prayer has been deeply transformative and I believe it will be for you too.
