In this article, Pastor Conner explores devotions as a formative Christian ritual—one that anchors us in God’s Word through regular habits of Scripture reading, confession, prayer, and blessing. Rather than prescribing the way to do devotions, he offers a flexible, scalable method that can be adapted for individuals and families alike, helping Christians embody their faith in the rhythms of everyday life.

Christianity is not merely something we believe; it is something we do. In this second installment of Doing The Faith, Pastor Conner explores the often-neglected practice of reading Scripture and why regular Bible reading is essential for Christian growth. Drawing on Psalm 1 and insights about habit formation, anticipation, and desire, he introduces a simple approach called Word Before World and The Regular Return. The goal is not merely to read more, but to cultivate a lasting habit that shapes our minds, strengthens our faith, and directs our hearts toward the happiness found in God’s Word.
