Fashioned by Faith: Spiritual Disciplines for Deepening Your Relationship with God

Practices and Rhythms for Growing in Intimacy with God

Fashioned by Faith is a practical, Scripture-grounded guide to the spiritual disciplines–written for women who long for a richer relationship with God but live in a world engineered to keep them busy, distracted, and satisfied with the surface. Monica Ritchie offers not a list of requirements but an invitation: to slow down, to go deeper, and to discover that a robust, transforming faith is just as available today as it was to generations of Christ followers long before Instacart and Instagram.

Inside, you'll find practices and rhythms for growing in intimacy with God, including:
● Prayer–moving beyond rote recitation into honest, sustained conversation with God
● Scripture study and meditation–learning to read the Bible not just for information but for formation
● Solitude and silence–creating space to hear from God in a noise-saturated world
● Worship, fasting, and Sabbath–rediscovering the rhythms that have shaped the faithful for centuries
● Service and community–the outward practices that root us in something bigger than ourselves

What sets Fashioned by Faith apart is its tone: deeply encouraging, theologically grounded, and never overwhelming. This is not a book that will add guilt to your already-full life. It is a gentle corrective to surface-level faith and the expectation of instant spiritual results–an invitation to invest slowly, deliberately, and joyfully in the relationship that matters most.

Monica Ritchie (MA, Bethel Seminary) is an on-air host at 98.5 KTIS in the Twin Cities, host of the podcast Theologically Fashioned, and a Bible teacher known for making complex theology accessible to everyday women–"your friend who went to seminary."
The soulful storytelling alongside spiritual application make Theologically Fashioned ideal for personal devotional reading, women's small groups, or anyone who has sensed there is more to the spiritual life than they've yet experienced.

If you've been longing for a faith that actually transforms you–not just inspires you for a moment–Fashioned by Faith is where to begin.
