Also, we'll get to hear from author Brittany Ann about falling in love with God's word. We'll wrap up today's show by journaling about making quiet time a priority.   3 Ways to Make Time for Quiet Time For years, I struggled to read scripture, even though I know how powerful it is! But thankfully, I discovered a system that helped me overcome the obstacles that were keeping me from time with God. In this video, I unpack my system in three simple steps.   How to Enjoy Reading Your Bible with Brittany Ann The REAL problem most of us have with our quiet time is that we're not passionate about spending time with God. In today's interview, I talk to author and Bible teacher Brittany Ann about her new book, Fall in Love with God's Word. She'll share practical strategies about bridging the gap between wanting to read more and actually doing it.   You Need THIS to Read Your Bible "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)   All of the things we could ever want or need in life are found in God's word. So, why does it feel like a chore to open up our Bibles? I encourage you to dig deep on this topic by responding to these journal questions:   How do you feel about reading your Bible? What would help you have alone time? What is one thing you could do this week to give yourself what you need to have that alone time?

One of the things I love about her teaching is that she gives small, practical tips we can use every day to organize and manage our lives better.   The Secret to Loving Your House "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty." Philippians 4:11-12 (NIV)   Even with a spotless, Pinterest-perfect house, we can still be unhappy with what we have. That's why this verse from Philippians is so powerful: It reminds us that with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can be content in any circumstance! Let's bring this concept home by answering these journal questions: What do you love about your home? How does it change the way you view your home when you set your mind on what you're grateful for?

I'll share four practical steps you can take to make and keep awesome friends. Also, I get to sit down with two of my best friends, Jenny and Sarah. We'll wrap up the show with a few journal questions about the importance of friendship.   4 Ways to Have Great Friendships as an Adult Let's face it: It's hard to make friends as an adult. We don't have many natural ways to meet new people. We get set in our ways and get busy with kids and work and errands. If you want to have more friends-or better friendships-you're going to have to decide to make time for it. Here are four practical actions you can take to get started!   How to Make Time for Friends In today's interview, I get to sit down with two of my real-life best friends! Through all of life's ups and downs and changes and challenges, we've managed to make time for each other. No-it's not always easy to coordinate calendars. But it's worth it. We'll share some of secrets that have helped us maintain our friendship for almost two decades.   What Do Your Friendships Look Like? "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NIV)   We weren't created to live alone. We need community. I want you to have people who will be there for you-people you can laugh and cry with, share the bad things with, and celebrate your milestones with. To start making some practical changes in the area of friendship, spend some time journaling your thoughts to these questions:  What are you looking for in friendships right now? What specific types of friendships do you desire this year? What's one step you can take to grow your friendships this year?
