In this episode, I’m kicking off a brand-new series called It’s Time to Grow Up. Development—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually—exists on a spectrum. Just like children hit benchmarks, we do too. And when we don’t, we feel the weight of that gap.

I talk about what it means to mature in every area of life:

Emotionally: learning to regulate emotions, show empathy, and process pain.

Mentally: developing memory, focus, decision-making, and problem-solving.

Physically: understanding and caring for our bodies as they change.

Spiritually: knowing who God is, who we are to Him, and growing in disciplines of faith.

The truth is, we can grow older without growing healthier or stronger in these areas—and that’s when life feels chaotic, out of control, or even painful. Paul reminds us in Hebrews 5 that some believers were still like babies needing milk, not ready for solid food. And in Ephesians 4, he calls us to “grow up in every way into Christ.”

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about maturity. We all have areas where God is inviting us deeper, and we don’t have to carry shame about that. Instead, we get to lean into growth.

In this series, I'm unpacking 20 indicators that describe an emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy person!
