episode 34 | Don't Let Your Reward Undo Your Progress: Using Incentives to Build a Consistent Morning Quiet Time cover

Description

Have you ever considered rewarding yourself for being consistent with your morning routine? Could a simple incentive help you build momentum in your morning quiet time? Or is it possible for a reward to accidentally distract you from the real goal? In this episode, I'm sharing how to use rewards and incentives to build consistency in your morning routine so you can create lasting habits that help you spend more time with God without losing sight of why you started. As Christian moms, we often struggle to stay consistent with our morning quiet time, especially when life feels busy and unpredictable. Sometimes a small reward can provide the extra motivation we need to keep showing up, but if we're not careful, that reward can shift our focus away from growing closer to God. In this episode, we'll talk about how to use rewards wisely, three important cautions to keep in mind, and how to create incentives that support your spiritual habits instead of undermining them. If you've been struggling with consistency in your Bible study, prayer time, or morning routine, this episode will help you build momentum while keeping your heart focused on what matters most.

36 | Wondering What to Actually Do During Bible Study? A Peek Inside My Morning Routine

Have you ever wondered what someone actually does during their morning Bible study time? Do you feel unsure about what to read, how much to read, or what to do after you finish reading a passage? Are you looking for ideas to help shape a morning routine that works for your season of life? In this episode, I'm sharing what my personal Bible study routine looks like so you can gather ideas, build confidence, and begin creating a quiet time that works for you. I'll walk you through how I choose what to study, how I work through a passage of Scripture, the study tools I use, and why I often spend several days on the same section of the Bible. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by Bible study, unsure where to start, or worried that you're "doing it wrong," this episode will encourage you to let go of perfection and focus on consistency instead. My goal isn't to give you a formula to follow, but to show you a real-life example of what Bible study can look like as a busy Christian mom. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical ideas for your own morning routine and the freedom to build a Bible study habit that helps you seek God first in your everyday life.
