DriveTime Devotions is designed to help you know God's Word and put it into practice. We believe it's better to study small sections of God's Word each day instead of a larger section once a week. Studying the Bible is like eating - you'll be healthier if you eat small amounts each day rather than one big meal a week! As you listen to each DriveTime episode, we encourage you to look for the one thing God's guiding you to do that day, and connect with him in prayer about it. This seemingly small step can produce great results in your life!
