Faith Without the Checklist: Finding a Real Relationship with Jesus

Ever feel like your faith life is running on autopilot? Like you’re just checking the boxes—praying, reading your Bible, going to church—but not really connecting with God? You’re not alone! Carol, Tricia, and Kelly open up about the seasons when their spiritual lives have felt dry and what helped them break free from the rut.

“We need a deeper relationship with Jesus—not a longer checklist.”

The girls share practical ways to refresh your relationship with Jesus—without falling into another set of rigid “how-to” steps. From shifting focus in Bible study to embracing silence and worship, this conversation is packed with real talk and real encouragement.

If you’ve ever wondered how to build a spiritual rhythm that feels alive instead of routine, this episode is for you. 💛

💡 3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Faith is a Relationship, Not a Routine – Just like friendships, your time with Jesus shouldn’t look the same every day. Mix it up, listen more, and invite God into all of your moments.
  2. It’s Not About Feelings – Spiritual growth isn’t always felt immediately. Just like working out strengthens muscles, consistent time with God will strengthen your spirit—even when it doesn’t feel like it.
  3. Silence is Powerful – If your quiet time is packed with prayers, devotionals, and study, but still feels dry, try subtracting instead of adding. Simply sit in God’s presence and listen.
