Is Inner Room continuing in 2022? [Also some quiet time tips]

When I started this podcast, I committed myself to doing it consistently for a year... it has been more than a year and I still love it, however, I won’t be able to fully commit to it in 2022. I have a couple of other ministry areas that I want to be able to invest more time in, and something’s gotta give. SO what that means practically for the podcast is: I won’t be uploading at all during January. And then starting from February, I will start uploading a few series, episodes and reading plans throughout the year, especially leading up to special events in the church year like Easter... but it won’t be 5 days a week, week in and week out this year. With that said: I want to give you a few ideas for resources that could help you during your quiet time going forward :-) Resources mentioned: - One Year Daily Audio Bible podcast - Youversion Bible App - Reading plans - Prayermate App - Remember Me App
