In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson takes a deep dive into the often overlooked aspect of Christian life - how to truly live by the Spirit. With the church's historical focus on conversion, many believers find themselves floundering, unsure of how to navigate their spiritual journey beyond being born again.
Rick shares his experiences as a pastoral counsellor, highlighting the struggles of individuals who have been neglected by their churches, left without guidance on living a fulfilled Christian life. He points out that these challenges aren't limited to new believers; even those who have been part of the church for decades can find themselves lost and hurting.
Rick uses passages from Ephesians to illustrate how the teachings of Paul offer a roadmap for believers seeking a more meaningful life in Christ. It's not just about avoiding sin or attending church; it's about embracing a transformation that starts deep within the mind and spirit. He emphasises the importance of laying aside old habits and adopting a new self, one rooted in righteousness and truth.
The episode is a call to action for churches to provide more comprehensive teaching and support, ensuring believers are equipped to live a life that reflects their faith. With anecdotes and scripture, Rick brings to light the necessity of ongoing spiritual education and growth, urging listeners to seek renewal through scripture and genuine community support. Whether you're struggling with relationships, mental health, or simply feeling stuck in your spiritual journey, this episode offers hope and practical steps for moving forward.
