3 Essentials for Christian Living Worksheet - Episode Four
PODCAST INTRO
Welcome back. I hope you had a great week and time to think about last week’s topic, being born into the family of God.
Maybe you had a chance to share what you heard with someone else. I’d love to hear about it. Send me an email through the website: ChristianEssentialsPodcast.com
This week’s episode is about Essential Number Two - Christian Growth.
Again, Just a quick reminder about the 3 Essentials that we are talking about in case you missed the first 2 episodes in the series:
1) Birth – We must have a spiritual beginning, being born again as the Scripture describes it
2) Growth – Once we have begun, we need to grow in our faith and understanding of God’s Word
3) Reproduction – The Scripture gives us the task of sharing what we know with others, helping them to come into relationship with God and helping them to grow in their faith as well
Today We’re going to take a closer look at the Second of the 3 Essentials – Growth.
How can we grow in our relationship with God? Has God provided ways and tools to help us?
Do we ever come to a point when we are done growing? Do we have to wait until we have grown a certain amount before we can minister to others? How do we know if we are growing?
We’ll cover all of these points as we go along and as usual, there is a worksheet that you can download from our website to help you dig a little deeper if you’d like to.
Special Note:
The topic of Spiritual Growth will be split up into multiple podcast episodes. There is a lot of information to cover and I want to take time to lay the proper foundation for each point, so subscribe to the podcast with the links in the right hand column and tune in each week.

We’ll cover all of these points as we go along. Here's the link to download a copy of the worksheet that goes along with this episode as well.
