Growth

Becoming who God made you to be, one step at a time

32 chapters across 13 books

Spiritual growth isn't about becoming a perfect person overnight — it's about becoming more like Jesus one awkward, messy step at a time. The Bible is pretty clear that God isn't done with you yet, and the process of being shaped and refined is literally the point. Your glow-up is a marathon, not a TikTok transformation video.

So What?

Growth isn't a one-time decision — it's showing up every day and letting God work on you even when it's uncomfortable. Stop comparing your chapter 2 to someone else's chapter 20. Focus on staying connected to Jesus, doing the next right thing, and trusting that the glow-up is in progress even when you can't see it yet.

Think About It

  • 1.

    What area of your life has God been trying to grow you in that you keep avoiding?

  • 2.

    Are you still on spiritual milk or have you started pushing into the harder, meatier parts of faith?

  • 3.

    What does 'abiding in Jesus' actually look like in your daily routine — not just in theory?
