Are you spiritually nourished—or just getting by? Building from Acts 2:38 –47, I share why the early church’s rhythm of devotion wasn’t optional; it was the engine of growth, unity, and mission. We explore Jesus’ call to feed on God’s Word (Matthew 4:4) and what it means to “live from the overflow,” where our words naturally reflect what fills our hearts (Matthew 12:34 ). You’ll hear a practical, grace-filled plan for moving from information to transformation, including a simple reading path you can start this week.

In this episode:

• 
  

  Why salvation launches a lifestyle, not a checkbox (Acts 2:38 –39).

  
  


• 
  

  “They devoted themselves…”—the four habits of Acts 2:42 –47.

  
  


• 
  

  Living in the overflow vs. spiritual starvation (Matthew 4:4; 12:34 ).

  
  


• 
  

  The “Power of Four”: how engaging Scripture 4+ days a week reshapes witness, discipleship, and everyday choices.

  
  


• 
  

  A scalable plan for every stage—one chapter, four days a week to start; or three chapters a day to finish the NT in <3 months.

  
  

Take the next step this week:

1. 
   

   Put time with God on your calendar.

   
   


2.
