Ep. 84 - What If God Wants More Than Your Devotion Time?

In this solo episode of Greatness From Small Beginnings, Keith L. Callaway shares a deeply personal and spiritual exploration of what it means to truly abide with God. Inspired by the book Secrets of the Vine, Keith unpacks the metaphor of the vine and branches from scripture and applies it to his own journey of spiritual discipline, pruning, and presence.

Key Topics:

• The difference between “devotions” and devoted time.
• What abiding really looks like in the chaos of everyday life.
• Why we can read the Bible and still miss true connection with God.
• Reflections on parenting, legacy, and why Keith journals daily.
• Personal insights on broadening spiritual attentiveness beyond the morning.

• "Reading a book about a person isn’t the same as knowing the person who wrote it."
• "Abiding begins with the visible spiritual disciplines but must go deeper."
• "You're designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness." – Zig Ziglar
