Discussion Questions:

1. Where in your life is your faith currently passive rather than active, and what would it look like this week to “make every effort” in that area before God?
   (Journal: Identify one specific area and write out a concrete step of obedience.)
2. What do your daily decisions reveal about who you are trying to please most, God, yourself, or others, and what needs to shift for God to truly be first?
   (Reflection: Track one full day and note your motivations behind key decisions.)
3. Is there any person you have not fully forgiven, and how is that unforgiveness shaping your heart, attitude, or identity right now?
   (Call to action: Write a prayer of radical forgiveness and release them before God.)
4. If someone who knows you best described your life, would they say your faith is producing visible goodness and excellence, or something else? In other words, would they say your growing better or growing bitter?
   (Challenge: Ask a trusted person for honest feedback this week and receive it humbly before the Lord.)

Episode Summary:

This episode invites us to move beyond a passive faith and step into a life marked by intentional spiritual growth. Rooted in 2 Peter 1:3–11, the conversation explores what it truly means to “add goodness” to our faith, not as surface-level behavior, but as a deep internal transformation. We are challenged to examine whether our faith is producing visible fruit or remaining comfortable and contained. Through practical steps and rich theological insight, this discussion calls us into a life of courage, excellence, and wholehearted devotion to God. Ultimately, it reminds us that real transformation happens as we cooperate with the Spirit and pursue Christ with intentionality.
