Ever notice how owning a home quickly teaches you that nothing stays in good shape without care? In this HEARTBEAT episode, we explore how that same truth applies to our spiritual lives. Just like a house, our faith can develop cracks—not because we’re failing, but because we’re human. Drawing from Philippians 1:6, this episode is a reminder that while God is faithful to complete His work in us, He invites our cooperation through intentional spiritual “maintenance.” Slow down, check in, and let God restore what’s wearing out.

Key Takeaways


Spiritual health doesn’t maintain itself—it requires regular attention.


Struggles like impatience, numbness, or exhaustion are signs to pause, not panic.


God is faithful to finish what He started, but He calls us to participate.


Small, intentional moments with God can restore what feels worn down.


Slowing down creates space for God to do renewing work in us.

 

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
