Listen "Growing Deeper with Christ"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to grow in our faith? Drawing from 2 Peter 3:18, this episode explores the profound instruction to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."We often think of grace as something we simply receive—God's unmerited favor that covers our shortcomings. But Peter challenges us to actively grow in grace, developing Christlike patience, forgiveness, and love in our own character. This growth isn't achieved through self-improvement but through deepening dependence on Jesus himself.Similarly, growing in knowledge of Christ goes far beyond memorizing Scripture or learning theological concepts. It's about developing an intimate relationship where we understand his heart, recognize his voice, and see the world through his eyes. This kind of knowledge transforms not just what we believe, but how we live.The journey of spiritual growth isn't instantaneous or perfect. Like a tree developing strong roots and reaching toward the light, our faith develops gradually through intentional practices and sometimes through challenging seasons. What matters most isn't perfection but direction—taking daily steps to nurture our connection with Jesus through prayer, Scripture, and attentiveness to his work in our lives.Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or have been walking with Christ for decades, this episode offers encouragement to embrace growth as a lifelong process. Start where you are today, take one step at a time, and watch how Jesus transforms your heart over time. Your spiritual development isn't a race to win but a relationship to nurture.
