How Habits Shape Spiritual Formation | Ep 31

What role do habits play in becoming more like Jesus?In this episode, Brian Fisher introduces the second Key Element of Formation: habits. Moving beyond simple behavior modification, he explores habits as recurring patterns that reveal the deeper ideas and desires shaping the human heart. Through the framework of Heartview, listeners are invited to examine how their thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviors, health, words, and use of time and money reveal what they truly love.The conversation also tackles an important question: Do changed habits transform the heart, or does a transformed heart create new habits? Drawing on examples from discipleship, addiction recovery, virtue formation, and everyday life, Brian argues that lasting change often requires more than willpower. It requires community, intentional relationships, honest self-examination, and the ongoing work of God's grace.As Season 3 continues, this episode lays the foundation for understanding how habits shape spiritual formation and why discipleship involves much more than simply trying harder.
