One might often think that growth is gonna happen in a particular way that we usually perceive as a huge experience or something flashy, but growth might actually look different. What does the Lord want to teach us and how does He teach us these things? We don’t grow by having everything altogether all the time. We also cannot expect to grow while staying self-protected in our comfort zones. Instead it’s when we actually experience poverty.
In reality we can be uncomfortable from the challenges of our lives and realize that this is what we need to help ourselves to grow in love and in holiness. This episode looks back on how most of us perceive, encounter and experience growth. An invitation for us to reflect on what does it really mean and how can we make it happen.
As we grow, we want to keep focusing on quality and bringing you new features that have a cost.

We Are Not Self-Defined
There’s always some mystery involved in an anointing. God doesn’t select the person we expect; this happens throughout the Old Testament and with the Apostles. There’s a mystery of who God calls and how God calls. God still calls really talented people, but not because they’re talented. We are not our skills…

Don’t Fumble The Bag
