QUICK Qs: What Is One Thing That Christians Could Practice to Strengthen Their Walk

We explore essential spiritual practices that could transform a Christian's weekly life, focusing on silent prayer, putting faith into action, and practicing regular forgiveness.

• Jason emphasizes the importance of silent prayer – not just talking to God but listening for His voice
• Moving beyond self-focused prayers to create space for hearing God's whisper
• Taking what we learn from Scripture and actually putting it into practice
• Seeing God's blessings manifest when we step out and live our faith
• Practicing forgiveness in daily interactions, not just major offenses
• Approaching disagreements as opportunities to find truth together, not battles to win
• Recognizing that defensive postures create tension and stress in relationships
• Understanding that forgiveness creates space for mutual understanding

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
quick questions with David.
All right, David, what do wegot for this week?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
So if all Christians could practice one thing more in
their weekly life, what shouldit be?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Oh man, that's good.
I had a very quick answer tothat in my head, very quick the
silence of prayer.
The silence of prayer, likepraying silently in.
You know, I think it's funny,like this idea of like a prayer
closet.
You know, it's always soundedfunny to me, but the older I get
, the more I realize that we arejust inundated with sounds and

(00:35):
text messages and phones andcomputers and background noise,
and so the idea of being able tojust sit quietly and pray and
then, when you're done praying,just to sit and listen, this is
like the thing that peopleforget to do when they're
praying.
It's like this is about me, me,me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
But like, what are you tryingto say back to me?
And that's the thing I think.
If people were to spend moretime in silence and more time

(00:57):
listening to the world itselfand God's voice and the whisper
of God and the I don't know,just listening to God, so much
more would come out of theirprayer life even.
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Love it, I would say, for people to just go out and
live what they are learning, toactually take it to practice.
I think that's where we'll seeyou know God's hand move and
really experience what you justread and really experience what
God is calling you to do.
I could be one that reads theBible, I could be one that prays

(01:32):
and know something God iscalling me for or put in my
heart, and maybe hesitate totake it and to go forward and do
it.
But I think every time Iactually gone out and done
something, I see God's blessing,I'm able to be a help, a
servant of God, and that's wherethe beauty comes, and not only

(01:54):
that people get to experienceGod also.
So not only for me, but forothers.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Totally Great Agreed.
For me, I think the one thing wecan practice more is
forgiveness and understanding.
And when I say that I don't mean, hey, this person has been
doing something to me wrong forso many years and I need to
forgive them.
That's the bigger forgiveness,but I think a weekly just, I
think we all try to top eachother, it's you know, this

(02:20):
person did this, so now I'mupset and I'm going to do this
and they're going to do this,and I just think that if we
learn to forgive better, it willavoid a lot of conflict.
I think that we are so used toseeing especially with social
media and things like that we'reso used to seeing conflict and
issues and not necessarilyresolutions, and we don't really

(02:42):
get to see the forgiveness part.
And I think that if we, asChristians, can practice the
forgiveness part more, hopefullythat will spread, but for us
also, it really, I think, keepsour sanity.
I think that you know, we knowthat God was always onto
something when he teaches ussomething, but I think
forgiveness is something we needto practice more.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I think that's an interesting way to put it is
forgiveness, because I knowthere's something that's like
stuck with me for a long time Iread is like an argument isn't
about being right or wrong.
An argument is about findingthe truth.
And you know, there's this ideathat instead of arguing or you
know I put my thing on the tableyou put your thing on the table
.
There's a lot of I put my thingon the table and if you don't

(03:23):
agree with me, I'm going todefend it with my life and the
more I have to defend.
And look what happens when youget into a defensive mode you
get tense, you get stressed, youget frustrated.
You know this is what happenswhen you get defensive, and I
hadn't thought about it asforgiveness, but it's
immediately saying to the personwho is realizing the other
person has an equally, you know,valid experience and that there

(03:46):
are, equally you know, to themit's valid, right, it's the
experience that they've livedand to them it's the facts that
they've learned.
At this point, and so beingable to say, okay, this person
isn't trying to attack me, thisperson is trying to express what
they're trying to express.
And to your point, I mean, ifyou immediately forgive them and
say look, they're going to notagree with me, but I don't need
to get mad at them.

(04:06):
I can just love them.
I can just try to see theirside and I can try to understand
where they're coming from, andthen I might find some common
ground.
But forgiveness was aninteresting way to put that.
I'm going to sit on that one.
I appreciate that.
You got it, cool, guys.
So this is always fun.
Let's see what next week holds.
All right, guys, have a goodweek.
Bye, bye, bye.
