Embracing Life's Twists: Spiritual Growth Explored
Episode Overview
Embrace life's unpredictability as part of spiritual growth. Understand that spiritual transformation isn't always quick or easy. Recognise and challenge ungodly beliefs hindering progress. Find contentment in your current situation while striving for growth. Accept discomfort as a catalyst for deeper fulfilment in Christ.
Sometimes moving from glory to glory is going to take longer than we expected, and it may cause God to use a little more stronger motivation.
In this episode of 'Hope, Healing & Freedom', the hosts explore the unpredictable journey of spiritual growth, likening it to the unexpected turns of childbirth.
