This week on Made to Pray, Karrilee and Lori revisit Richard J. Foster's book Celebration of Discipline and explore twelve spiritual disciplines that can help us deepen our relationship with God. From prayer, meditation, and fasting to simplicity, solitude, service, and celebration, we're talking about how these practices can shape our hearts, strengthen our faith, and help us become more like Jesus.\nWe also get honest about how difficult it can be to find quiet in a noisy world, why authentic Christian community matters, and how spiritual growth often begins with small, consistent steps. This isn't a bossy To-Do (or Not-To-Do!) list! It's an invitation to slow down, listen for the Holy Spirit, and discover which practices God may be highlighting for your current season.\n💜 FREE DOWNLOAD: Making Room for God\nWe've created a companion guide featuring all twelve spiritual disciplines, Scripture references, practical exercises, reflection questions, and encouragement from our conversation.\n📖 Download your free guide here: [Making Room For God]\nOur encouragement this week? Don't try to master all twelve disciplines. Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight just one or two, and begin there.\n🙏 Thanks for joining us as we talk a little and then we pray!\nScriptures to explore: Psalm 1:2, Matthew 6:16–18, Mark 1:35, John 15:5, James 5:16, Psalm 18:32.\n#MadeToPray #SpiritualDisciplines #MakingRoomForGod #ChristianPodcast #Prayer","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zNHYAr8iAFNpcz_KBkNK5BccyeoYgKTgWkhvGGuyAhw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yYjZl/YzBmZjk2MjhiM2Vm/MTg2NGUwODFjZjY5/MWQzZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
