Episode Synopsis

In this message, we're challenged to examine our spiritual appetite and growth. Drawing from 1 Peter 2, we're reminded that as believers, we should 'long for pure spiritual milk' just as newborns crave nourishment. This vivid imagery emphasizes our need for constant spiritual sustenance through God's Word. The speaker parallels this with our physical nutrition, comparing the Bible to 'pre-workout' for our faith. We're urged to supplement our faith with virtues like knowledge, self-control, and love, growing in Christ-likeness. The message warns against filling ourselves with worldly distractions, leaving no room for God's truth. It's a call to prioritize our spiritual nourishment, reminding us that our hunger for God's Word often reflects our spiritual health. As we face life's challenges, this message encourages us to root ourselves deeply in Scripture, allowing it to transform us from the inside out.
