Loving Christ Better Every Day in 2020

Reading the Bible to Love Christ Better in 2020

Do you want to be more consistent in your prayer and Bible reading in 2020? Have you tried (and failed) to make regular time in the Word a habit in the past?

In this episode of The Crossway Podcast, David Mathis—author of Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus through the Spiritual Disciplines—discusses how anyone (even children) can make Bible reading a habit as we begin a new year. The author:

• reflects on the pros and cons of New Year’s resolutions,

• reflects on his own journey with the spiritual disciplines, and

• offers practical advice on making a plan to read the Bible every day in 2020.
