Some "regulars"...
Here
are some things we can do regularly that will shape our hearts in radical ways:
Regularly
study your Bible.
Regularly
pray, both speaking to and listening to God.
Regularly
fast. Shutting things off so we can open up.
Regularly
worship; personally, as a family, and corporately.
Regularly
share your life struggles with accountability partners.
Regularly
give; the release of stuff is powerful.
Regularly
look at beautiful things (creation, art, ideas).
Regularly
affirm your submission to the lordship of Christ.
Regularly
do something for someone who cannot pay you back.
Regularly
return thanks; count your blessings & say THANKS.
Regularly
praise God; do it out loud.
The
old has passed away; the new has come (see 2 Corinthians 5:17); we lean into
and make active the new by our shifting from our old regular way of being into
the new and making the new our regular.

Timothy 4:7 says that we should "train yourself for godliness," and
this is one of God's ways to deliver us in this present age from foolishness,
lack of productivity, ungodliness, and the wickedness that is the norm in our
culture.
What
we call a "good Christian" should be the norm. That description comes
across as being radical. IF being normal according to God looks radical to the
world, then I want to be found to being radical on a normal day. 😉 These
regulars help us train into that normalcy / radicalness.
Make
being radical regular in your life!
