Formation does not happen in isolation. It happens in relationship. And often, the very people who stretch us the most become the ones God uses to build our capacity.

In this episode, we explore the idea of “grace growers”—the people and relationships that expose where our patience is thin, where our love is conditional, and where reactivity still leads. Not because they are trying to shape us, but because their presence reveals what is still being formed in us.

Drawing from Luke 6 and the call to love beyond what is easy, this conversation looks at the divine exchange available in tense or stretching relationships: releasing reactivity so we can carry a steadier, Christlike response. This is not about tolerating harm or abandoning wisdom. It’s about recognizing how real formation often happens through proximity, friction, and the invitation to remain aligned.
