Saddleback Church: DriveTime Devotionals Saddleback Church The purpose of DriveTime Devotions is to help you know God's Word and put it into practice.Episodes are designed to be listened to once per day, five days a week. That way, you can miss two days each week and still stay on schedule.We believe it's better to study small sections of God's Word each day instead of a larger section once a week. Studying the Bible is like eating—you'll be healthier if you eat small amounts each day rather than one big meal a week!As you listen to DriveTime, we encourage you to look for the one thing God's guiding you to do that day.Jesus taught it's important to not only hear the Word, but act on what you hear. We want to help you live out God's Word in your life and apply its truth daily.At the end of each episode, we encourage you to spend some time connecting with God in prayer. This seemingly small step can produce great results in your life. Drivetime Diaries Chuck Baker Ride along this drivetime with a public school educator in a newfound challenge: a daily commute.
