This applies to daily Bible reading (a co-host's life-transformation group requires 20–30 chapters a week; he moved from binge-reading to daily), prayer as ordinary conversation with "Dad" instead of performative prayer, and spiritually "putting on the armor of God" every morning like brushing your teeth. Daily immersion, they say, keeps the relationship with God from drifting.
