Facing the Giants: Quiet Time With God - Baptist (Psalm 46:10)

Source: ChurchWiseAI82 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Coach Grant Taylor in Facing the Giants has his moment of stillness—alone with God, surrendering everything, knowing God before acting. Baptist spirituality emphasizes personal "quiet time": daily devotions, individual prayer, being still before God. "Be still and know" happens in the prayer closet, in morning devotions, in moments of personal surrender. This is soul competency practiced—each believer directly knowing God without intermediary. Grant's stillness preceded his transformation; his knowing God changed everything. Be still in your personal walk; know God for yourself.
