The Personal Growth Project

in today’s age, there is so much distraction and spiritual warfare that it can be difficult to stay connected to God.

despite our best efforts, we sometimes find ourselves failing to build the close relationship with God that we know we’re meant to have.

this episode is the solution to that–three incredibly easy habits that you can adopt (& proof of how they work) that will completely rekindle your relationship with God & make you closer to Him than ever before.
