14. Discipline and "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life" and "Atomic Habits"
Description
Habits tend to reflect what we truly value and set the course for change in our lives, what does this mean for Christians? In this episode we discuss both Atomic Habits and Spiritual Disciplines, and how current research about how people form and keep habits is consistent with the spiritual disciplines God requires for the sanctification of his people. We talk about how our identity in Christ motivates us, the freedom of self-discipline, how community helps or hinders us, and how reflection and self-assessment keep us from becoming stagnant in our growth.
