To my frustration, I’m always wrestling with time. It’s constantly moving too quickly or too slowly. I’m never using it as productively as I could be. And I’m terrible at estimating how long something takes—from making the bed to reading a book chapter.

So I’m grateful to Kristen Wetherell for reminding me (again!) that spending time in Bible reading and prayer can be done well no matter how much—or little—time I have in the morning. She compares our quiet time with the Lord to a snack (5 minutes), a meal (10–15 minutes), or a feast (30 minutes).

I wonder if she’d use the same analogy for our communal walk with the Lord. Would praying with a friend on the phone be a snack? Would attending church each week be a meal?

If so, then I’d love to invite you to a spiritual feast in June, as more than 7,000 women from around the globe gather in Indianapolis to sing, pray, and study God’s Word together. We’ll hear from gifted speakers (including Kristen!), learn from dozens of breakouts and workshops, and browse hundreds of gospel-centered titles in the bookstore.

We’d love for you to join us at TGCW24—and if you haven’t registered yet, please make sure to do so today because prices increase tomorrow!

Looking forward to seeing you,
