In this book, Mike Falkenstine identifies seven key areas Scripture calls every believer to engage in consistently. These are not simply ideas to understand\u2014they are patterns to be lived out. As they are practiced over time, they become established disciplines that shape how you think, how you live, and how you follow Christ, leading to a life that bears lasting spiritual fruit.<\/p><p>Each practice includes a guided Bible study, reflection questions, and personal assessments to help you evaluate your growth, along with practical next steps and tools to move you into action. Clear, practical, and reproducible, this resource is designed to help you grow in your relationship with Christ and equip you to impact others as you pursue a fruitful Christian life. (Choose the paperback version available on Amazon for going through the assessment with a class or small group.)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
