Being an everyday disciple is all about loving Jesus and being devoted to following Him every single day, even in the little details of life. So, let's dive in and explore what it really means to be a disciple and how we can live as everyday disciples in our day-to-day routines. Embracing the Role of a Disciple Being a disciple simply means being a student or a follower.

Prayer is a key component of the Christian faith, as it is a way for believers to communicate with God. Yet, as important as it is, it seems to be so easy for us to go days without doing it! Many of my clients have told me that they know they should pray, yet struggle to really commit to a solid daily time with the Lord. Some have admitted that they don’t really know how to pray.

One of the most common things I hear from clients is around the idea of emotional eating. “I do great until I have a bad day. I’m such an emotional eater!” In fact, most women consider themselves an emotional eater. It’s so common that it’s become this badge of identity.
