The Practical Christian Podcast: Recent Episodes
Travis Albritton
My name is Travis Albritton, and I want to help you become a more effective Christian. If you’re like me, your life is constantly teetering between being too busy and absolute chaos. And because you have so much going on it can be difficult to find the time to focus on your personal, spiritual growth. But you shouldn’t have to be in the full-time ministry in order to make an impact for God. You can be an effective Christian AND live your life. Every week I’ll share a practical tip, trick, hack, or strategy that you can implement right away. I’ll cover topics like how to study your Bible, talking to your friends about Jesus, dealing with sin and your life, and much more. I don’t want you to have a stagnant relationship with God. I don’t want you to lose your passion for God. And I don’t want you to be ineffective in serving the people around you. I want you to have a thriving relationship with God. I want you to be on fire for God and his church. And I want you to become the difference-maker you were created to be. Become a more effective Christian and see what it’s like to walk with God every day of your life.

Hey guys! I wanted to record this quick podcast episode to let you know what's been going on in my life recently (HINT: I'm technically homeless right now) and tell you about a free workshop I'm doing this Thursday.
This Thursday, September 19th at 8 pm EST, I'm doing a free live workshop on how to become a great small group leader.
You can register at www.smallgroupleadersecrets.com
I'll cover:
- 5 myths you've been led to believe by others that cause you to feel like you're not cut out to lead others
- 3 keys to getting on the fast track to becoming an influential small group
This training is perfect for both existing small group members AND Christians who have thought about starting a group but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I hope to see you on Thursday!
This is a bit of a "house-keeping" episode, but I wanted to let you guys know a couple of things:
