    268: Does Reading Your Bible & Praying Every Day Actually Make You Grow, Grow, Grow?
    Jun 12 2025
    Show Notes:: Episode Starts: 10:50 Remember the old Sunday song "read your bible, prayer every day..... you'll grow grow grow" and then there's the reverse of "neglect your bible; forget to pray . . . you'll shrink, shrink, shrink." Is this actually correct or is there a better way? Should Christians read their Bible and Pray everyday? What happens if they don't? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller discuss the foundations of Christianity and why it is important to pray and read your Bible. Grab your Bible and get ready for a great conversation. //Resources Used In This Episode// https://nikolaroza.com/bible-reading-statistics-facts-trends-guide/ ThinkE.com //Other Episode You Might Enjoy// https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/266-how-to-study-the-bible-classic-replay/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/165-is-the-bible-accurate-and-trustworthy-part-1/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/240-how-does-prayer-align-with-action/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/051-the-importance-of-prayer/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/196-the-honest-struggles-in-christian-walk/ // Helpful Links // https://www.youtube.com/@realtalkchristianpodcast The Christian Standard Bible: https://csbible.com Lifeway Christian Resources: www.lifeway.com Got Questions?: www.gotquestions.org Dwell Bible App: https://dwellapp.io Cross Formed Kids from Ryan Coatney: https://www.crossformedkids.com RTC Quick Links: https://linktr.ee/realtalkchristianpodcast RTC Online: www.realtalkchristianpodcast.com Twin Valley Coffee: https://www.coffeehelpingmissions.com Revive festival : Music Festival | En Gedi Music Fest | Leonidas, MI (myrevivefest.com) Toccoa Coffee:https://toccoacoffee.com RTC Merch-https://rtcpodcast.redbubble.com Let Them Live: https://letthemlive.org
