This is about life with God, not just church attendance or religious habits. It is a daily walk with God, where trust in God grows through prayer, Scripture, and obedience. We look at what the Bible says about surrender and following Jesus, including Matthew 16:25 and John 14:6. If you have felt like something is missing, you are not alone. A relationship with Jesus is not a bonus add on. It is the center of the Christian faith. We also make space for a simple, honest prayer for anyone who wants to begin again or begin for the first time. If you prayed along, I would love to hear from you and celebrate with you. Please [contact us](https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact) so I can pray with you and encourage you as you take your next steps in your faith walk. Friend, you do not have to stay stuck in going through the motions. Today can be a real turning point. Keep talking to God. Keep opening the Word. Keep choosing to walk with God in real life. ## 📝 Related Blogs 4 blog articles inspired by this episode [ ![Featured image for Knowing Jesus Personally Daily: Real Signs Your Faith Goes Beyond](https://res.cloudinary.com/guidedsteps/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1784920811/perspectivesintopractice/blog/knowing-jesus-personally-daily-real-signs-your-faith-goes-beyond-1784920810836.jpg) Blog article ## Knowing Jesus Personally Daily: Real Signs Your Faith Goes Beyond Knowing Jesus personally daily is more than just Sunday faith.
