Day 6 - Why the Need of a Devotional?

from The Devotional Podcast with Nancy McCready · host Nancy McCready

In this episode of The Devotional Podcast, Nancy addresses a vital question: why take time with God in devotion? Drawing from Richard Foster’s Celebration of Discipline, she reminds us that superficiality is the curse of our age, and what we desperately need are not more gifted people but deeper people. Devotion is not about earning holiness—we are already holy in Christ—but about placing ourselves before the Father in focused ways so He can speak, love, and transform us. Spiritual disciplines are not ends in themselves; they are pathways that move us beyond surface living into the depths of God. Psalm 42:7 says, “Deep calls to deep,” and our times are crying out for deep people—those rooted in maturity, resilience, loyalty, and truth. A devotional gives you a prompt to pause, to hear His heart, and to be drawn deeper into His presence.Thanks for Listening!I hope that after listening to The Devotional Podcast with Nancy, you’ll be inspired to continue the conversation with your team, small group, or even in your own quiet time.
