Anchor Scripture: The Parable of the Sower: Matthew 13:3-23; Mark 4:3-20; Luke 8:5-15

In this episode of That’s My Truth, we explore the reasons why Christians may struggle with spiritual growth, using the Parable of the Sower as our guide. From the seed that falls on the footpath to the fertile soil, we’ll break down each type of soil and reflect on what it reveals about our spiritual journey.

I’ll share my personal story of struggling with spiritual stagnation, the obstacles that choked my growth, and how God helped me overcome them to thrive spiritually. We’ll also discuss the marks of spiritual maturity, such as bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and uncover the things that might be standing in the way of your growth, including lack of understanding, worldly distractions, and an unsurrendered heart.

But don’t worry—we won’t stop there. You’ll leave this episode with actionable steps to become good soil: cultivating a life of prayer, clinging to God’s Word, and planting yourself in a church community.

If you’ve been wondering why your spiritual growth feels stunted or how to deepen your walk with Christ, this episode will provide clarity and practical advice for your journey. Let’s grow together in faith and truth.
