We also gather throughout the week in small groups, doing life and mission together and sharing what He&#8217;s revealing to us in His Word. These regular and intimate interactions change our expectations for when we come together corporately. Instead of coming empty and ready to consume, we can focus on sharing our gifts and the insights we have gained throughout the week. This reinforces a culture that values His Word, sharing the Gospel, and making disciples as part of our daily life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_7119\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3718-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/We-are-a-Devoted-Body.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/We-are-a-Devoted-Body.mp3\">https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/We-are-a-Devoted-Body.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/We-are-a-Devoted-Body.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=3718-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/We-are-a-Devoted-Body.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"We-are-a-Devoted-Body.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We expect every person in our church to have a personal and regular time in God&#8217;s Word and view that[&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bubba-clardy","category-sermons"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p53JSl-XY","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3718"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3720,"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3718\/revisions\/3720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
