Habits of a healthy heart – Don’t quit too early (Becky Warnock) - Week 5

Forge Church Catchup

There's a helpful mantra that says "If you want to change your life, change your habits." This is true, but if you want to change your habits and make them stick, something has to change within us – in our heart. This series explores those habits that go beyond attending slimming world and stopping smoking. It's all about the habits of a healthy heart. Habits are great but they can be hard to maintain. The desire to quit the diet, quit meeting your counsellor, quit church can be so strong. Why? Because habits are about the long game, the big picture, not short term wins. Learning to be faithful in the little things is a big thing! Little things practised over time make a big difference. It's repeating a habit that makes a long-term change. So I guess the question is, "How do I keep going with good habits over the long term?" Maybe the answer lies with practising the habit of being steadfast… The Forge Community Church is a church in Suffolk with a mission to help people find and follow Jesus. The Forge meet physically in Debenham Community Centre and have environments for adults kids and youth. We also offer church online so you can connect with the Forge anywhere, anytime, not just those in Mid Suffolk. OUR MISSION: To help people find and follow Jesus.
