Spring Training is our annual spiritual disciplines emphasis at First Baptist Dallas. Our theme for 2025 is Abide. Over the next five weeks, our goal is to abide more deeply in Jesus Christ by relying on the Holy Spirit. The plan for Abide focuses on Christ’s words about the Holy Spirit in John 14–16. Each week we’ll read a portion of the text and then answer reflection questions. The Abide book will walk you through each day of the plan, with space to take notes and respond to the Lord. 

To receive resources, reminders, and encouragement during Spring Training, text TRAINING to 72007. Spring Training: Abide starts on Monday, March 3.


Abide Overview

Here’s an introduction to our heart behind Spring Training: Abide at First Baptist Dallas.



Abide Book

The Spring Training: Abide book will walk you through each day of the five-week plan. There’s an introduction to John 14–16, an overview of the plan, and week-by-week guidance with space to reflect on what the Lord is teaching you through His Word. We partnered with First Dallas en Español to produce a Spanish translation of Abide, which you can access here as well.


Podcast Series

We want to encourage you and help you go deeper as you work through the five-week Abide book. Each Monday, we’ll provide an audio version of the week’s biblical passage and introduction from the book. Then on Fridays, Dr. Ben Lovvorn will lead a discussion of what the passage means and how we can apply it to our lives.
