    The Bix Six - #6: Prayer that Deepens Faith

    Prayer is one of the most vital yet challenging parts of the Christian life. It is not merely a religious habit but a genuine conversation with a Father who hears, cares, and responds. Growing in prayer means bringing Scripture into our conversations with God, being intentional about when and how we pray, and praying alongside others rather than always alone. It also means staying alert to how God answers throughout the day and approaching Him with the kind of honesty and desperation that reflects how much we truly need Him. Like King Jehoshaphat, who admitted he had no power and no plan but kept his eyes on God, we are invited to bring our real needs before a Father who is faithful to respond. Start small, start honest, and start today.

    The Big Six - #5: Service that Shows Love

    True service is not about signing up for programs or earning approval. It is an act of love, obedience, and worship that flows from a heart transformed by God. In John 13, Jesus, fully aware of His authority and identity, knelt down and washed His disciples' feet, taking on the role of the lowest servant in the room. He did not do it to impress anyone. He did it to glorify His Father and make God's love visible. Humility is not a reputation to build but a heart posture that shifts our focus from ourselves to the needs of others. When we serve together in unity, the world sees Jesus. Service is not a program. It is a posture that starts with a changed heart.

    The Big Six - #4: Community that Welcomes All

    Community is one of the most essential yet most avoided practices in the Christian life. The Greek word koinonia, often translated as fellowship, means far more than coffee after a Sunday service. It means sharing life together in a deep, joint partnership. Authentic community is built around three kinds of sharing: sharing our stuff, sharing our hearts, and sharing the mindset of Christ. Without it, we stop growing, we stay stuck in sin, and we miss one of the primary ways God works in our lives. Community will cost you time, comfort, and ego, but the cost is worth it. In a world that is increasingly isolating, sharing life with others is exactly what we need. It is where we become more like Jesus.

    The Big Six - #3: Evangislm that Proclaims Jesus

    Sharing your faith does not have to be intimidating or overwhelming. Evangelism simply means telling good news, and the gospel is the best news there is: God is restoring His broken creation through Jesus Christ. Jesus commanded His followers to make disciples, and He promised to be with them every step of the way. God also provides the Holy Spirit, Scripture, and the example of Jesus Himself to help us share our faith. You do not need perfect words or all the right answers. You just need to know Him and be willing to speak His name. Sharing the gospel is not a burden assigned to you. It is an invitation to a front-row seat at what God is already doing in the world.

    The Bix Six - #2: Worship that Glorifies God

    Worship is built into who we are as human beings. The real question is not whether we worship, but what we worship. God is worthy of our praise because of who He is and what He has done through Jesus Christ. When we gather together, we are called to do four things: sing, see, sacrifice, and show. Singing places biblical truth on our lips and unites us as one voice before God. Seeing means coming with open eyes, ready to encounter His presence through His Word and His Spirit. Sacrificing means offering our time, preferences, pride, and finances as acts of devotion. Showing means letting our worship be visible enough that others catch a glimpse of who God truly is.

    The Big Six - #1: Teaching that Changes Lives

    A healthy church is built on six core practices found in Acts 2, and teaching is listed first because it is the foundation everything else rests on. We are not born knowing God's truth, and without intentional learning, the loudest voices in our culture will shape our values more than Scripture does. Every Christian is called to be a teacher, not necessarily from a stage, but in everyday life through honest conversations, shared wisdom, and lived example. This calling follows three simple steps: absorb the truth, become the message, and convey the gospel. Feeling unqualified has never stopped God from calling people to speak His truth. The most powerful teachers are not those with the most information, but those whose lives make others want to learn what they know. A healthy church is not built by a few experts on a platform. Ordinary people build it by learning deeply, living faithfully, and sharing generously with those around them.

    Pop Psalms, Part 4: "Psalm 32"

    Psalm 32 opens with a declaration of blessing for those whose sins have been forgiven, and it was written by a man who knew what it cost to stay silent. King David describes the physical and emotional weight of unconfessed sin, the exhaustion, the anxiety, and the slow erosion of peace. When he finally brought his sin into the open before God, something profound happened. God forgave him completely. The Hebrew word hesed, often translated as unfailing love or steadfast love, captures what surrounds a person after confession. It is loyal, everlasting love expressed through radical kindness. Confession is not just about clearing a record. It is the doorway into a deeper relationship with a God who wants to guide, bless, and lead us into something meaningful.

    Pop Psalms, Part 5: "Psalm 39"

    Life is short, and most of us feel it. Psalm 39 gives voice to that feeling honestly, describing a human life as no wider than a handbreadth. Rather than landing in despair or meaninglessness, the psalmist takes his questions directly to God. What he finds himself searching for are the same three things most of us are searching for: mercy, contentment, and hope. God offers forgiveness for our failures, joy in the gifts He has placed around us, and a future that outlasts everything we could ever build. Our days are brief, but they point toward something infinite. The search does not have to end in emptiness.
