Spiritual growth doesn’t usually come from dramatic moments—it comes from faithful habits practiced over time.

In this episode of Four Preachers and a Podcast, the guys kick off Season 7 by discussing six foundational habits that help Christians grow deeper in their walk with Christ. Whether you’re feeling spiritually energized or spiritually stuck, these are habits worth starting—or restarting—today.

📌 In This Episode, We Discuss:

• The Habit of Daily Time with God
  Creating intentional space each day for Scripture, prayer, and reflection.
• The Habit of Speaking About the Resurrection
  Keeping the risen Christ at the center of our conversations and our hope.
• The Habit of Letting Scripture Shape Life
  Allowing God’s Word to form our thinking, decisions, and character—not just inform us.
• The Habit of Honest Prayer
  Coming before God with sincerity, humility, and trust—even when the words are hard.
• The Habit of Connecting With Someone New
  Practicing hospitality and building relationships within the body of Christ.
• The Habit of Gratitude and Joy
  Choosing thanksgiving and joy as daily disciplines, even in difficult seasons.

This conversation isn’t over! In the next episode, we’ll continue with “Six MORE Habits Every Christian Should Start (or Restart)”—practical, challenging, and encouraging habits that help us live faithfully for Jesus.

What does it really look like to love the local church when tensions arise, opinions differ, or conflict threatens unity?

In this episode, the guys explore James 3:18 and its powerful reminder that righteousness does not grow in chaos or contention, but in peace carefully sown by peacemakers. Loving the church means more than attendance or agreement—it means actively cultivating peace through our words, attitudes, and responses.

This conversation challenges listeners to consider how everyday choices either nurture unity or poison the soil where spiritual growth should flourish.

In this episode, the guys discuss what it really means to love the local church—not through rose-colored glasses, but through the lens of biblical realism. From Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas show us that the church’s beauty lies not in her perfection but in her perseverance.

Together, we explore how being realistic about the church actually deepens our love for her. Paul and his traveling companions strengthened disciples, reminded them that suffering is part of the journey, and appointed elders to help the church grow under God’s direction. That’s realism—and it’s what keeps us rooted in grace and unity today.

In this season finale of Four Preachers and a Podcast, the guys come together for a heartfelt and hope-filled conversation about church hurt. What happens when the people of God wound one another? How can we process that pain in a healthy, Christ-centered way?

We dive deep into the gospel’s answer to broken relationships, disappointment, and betrayal within the body of Christ. With Scripture as our guide and personal experience as our context, we seek to offer practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for anyone who’s been hurt by the church—or by Christians.

🎉 This wraps up our Season 5 miniseries! Four Preachers and a Podcast will return with Season 6 in August 2025.

Until then, stay faithful, stay encouraged, and keep looking to Jesus.

When someone is wounded by the church—whether through conflict, disappointment, or betrayal—it can be a long road to healing. As fellow Christians, how can we walk alongside those who are hurting? What should support look like? And how can we avoid unintentionally making things worse?

This is part four of our miniseries on Church Hurt, a candid conversation exploring the real pain that can happen within the church family, and how God’s people can seek healing together.
