This week on The Journey, we explored the nature of faith, the challenges of fully embracing Christianity, and the ongoing process of spiritual growth. We discussed how both non-believers and long-time church members can struggle with fully surrendering to Christ, often due to the personal discomfort and life changes total submission requires. The discussion emphasized that salvation is not the endpoint, but rather the beginning of a lifelong journey with God.

Takeaways:

* True faith in Christ requires a complete reorientation of our lives, which is challenging but ultimately rewarding.

* Many people, both inside and outside the church, struggle with fully embracing Christianity because it demands significant personal change.

* Our spiritual journey doesn’t end with salvation; God is always calling us to go deeper and grow in our faith.
