Not Afraid To Be Positive Episode 226- 1 Corinthians 3:7

Curious about how faith can keep you grounded and positive through every season of life? This conversation between Jerry Jeff and Brother Rick Greene centres on a simple but powerful line of scripture: *“So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow”* (1 Corinthians 3:7). Right from the start, there’s a sense of gratitude and celebration.

Jerry Jeff points out that *“today marks four years that God has allowed us to share his word out to the universe,”* and both he and Rick respond with a heartfelt *“Praise God.”* That four-year milestone sets the tone: this is about steady, faithful effort and recognising that whatever progress has been made belongs to God. You’ll hear Rick highlight how the verse keeps things in perspective.

The planter and the one who waters might represent anyone doing good work—teaching, encouraging, writing, or sharing God’s word—but the credit doesn’t rest on human shoulders. Growth, change, and healing are all described as coming from God alone. It’s a message that takes the pressure off and keeps pride in check, while still valuing consistent effort. The wider Spiritworks context is never far away.

Rick’s background as a husband, father of six boys, and poet who writes “Spiritlifters” reflects a life shaped by love, family, and faith. That same spirit comes through here in a gentle reminder to stay positive, stay faithful, and remember who is really in charge of the results. If you’re looking for a short, faith-filled boost that points you back to God’s role in your growth, this episode keeps it simple, warm, and encouraging.

Where might you need to remember that it’s God who makes things grow?
