Name of podcast: Black Girl Theology
Episode title and number: Ep. 6 | Let's Talk About Spiritual Disciplines
Welcome back to another episode of the Black Girl Theology podcast. In this season, we have been talking about the basic fundamental principles of Christianity and theology. In the next season, we are going to talk about what it’s like going through seasons of transition, and how hard, heartbreaking, and healing that can be. I’ll be bringing on a few of my favorite Black girls to discuss how transition has been showing up in their lives as well.
But, in today’s episode we are going to be talking about spiritual disciplines. Up until this point, we have discussed the Bible and how it came to be. In the last episode, we talked about salvation and the process of sanctification and justification. And in that episode, we described sanctification as the process by which Christians are set apart for God from the rest of the world, or the process by which Christians are made holy (this is otherwise known as spiritual maturity and it happens over the lifetime of a Christian).
The only way for us to grow in maturity over our lifetime is to continue in our spiritual disciplines. So we’re going to dive into what those are today.
