If you identify as a type A individual who feels the need to follow a rigid routine while also wanting to be intentional in furthering your faith, you may likely find yourself in the striving category. Being a striving Christian often leads to feeling discouraged and “bogged down” by your efforts to check all the boxes on your “Christian to-do list.” No matter how hard you work toward the “basics of Christianity,” you’re usually left feeling like you’ll never be able to do enough or be enough. On the contrary, if you identify as one who feels overwhelmed by the to-do list and finds that this overwhelm leads to doing nothing in response, you may likely find yourself in the apathetic category. So how, then, do we intentionally seek to further our relationship with God without going through the motions of our to-do list or doing nothing at all? The answer is by living abundantly in Christ!
