In this Spiritual Progress series, we want to be aware of guideposts that show we're on the right track. Being led by the Spirit is a great way to see that progress. But the trick with the Spirit is that it can't be forced - it's a humble reliance on Him every day. Sami E and Meg share some of their experience and thoughts on having a thriving spirit.

Is our heart (the place our spirit, soul, and body are motivated by) constantly deceitful and ready to lead us to ruin? We say no - and are excited to welcome you into the conversation.

In monitoring our Spiritual Progress, it can feel like a lot of rules or checklists. But this week, we want to bring it back to simple. Sami E shares her alter ego Samfa Mamfa with us and ways she reminds herself to keep peace in the center of her spiritual growth. We can all keep it simple, saint of God!!

If you've chosen to follow Jesus, then you've chosen a life of intentional seeking and finding. It's good work. It's necessary for us to grow in our relationship with Christ and our reliance on the Holy Spirit. So, how can we do this while maintaining a heart of peace and not striving? Sami E & Meg don't come to this episode with all the answers, but they do have a desire to explore and think critically about what it means to "seek first the kingdom of God."

Do you hear voices? Sami E and Meg believe we all do - they can take many forms. But what voices are we letting speak over our lives, and do they speak life? As they move forward in our Spiritual Progress series, Sami E and Meg ask the question: why do we let other voices take precedent over the Gospel in our lives? They also explore the idea of God's Word being the most powerful Voice in our lives, and how we can borrow others voices when we're in desperate need of encouragement.

Both Sami E and Meg have felt like they're in a season of Winter. We're looking for guideposts that encourage us on the road of spiritual progress in our relationship with Christ. We talked about Spiritual Growth last season, and want to know what does a person look like who is experiencing spiritual progress.

This episode, we start by exploring qualities of people we've looked up to as spiritually mature. We define a few qualities and look at scriptures that help point us toward Christ as we pursue growth.

And at the end, we're trying something new - join us in repeating words of life over yourself!

God's created each of us on purpose with a purpose. Our ultimate goal is to bring Him glory, but there are so many ways a person could accomplish it. Our passions (what lights us up inside) are a gift. How cool is it that we can pursue those and walk them out in a way that honors how God created us! In our final episode of this series, Sami E and Meg answer a few questions about passions, and offer up ways to walk them out in a disciplined way. 

How can we approach sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ without becoming a salesperson or too lax with the good news that we have? Sami E and Meg explore their backgrounds in a grace-filled and informative way. They also offer tips to naturally share what Jesus has done for people.

Church -- it's such an important discipline for a Christian. But that's not because you're more righteous by visiting a building every week. Church is so much more -- it's the people! 

In this episode of our Spiritual Disciplines series, we explore the idea of a natural, daily awareness of God in our lives. How can we pay attention to God and be aware of His presence in our daily life? How can he be just a thought away? This sort of awareness is a practice, and we talk through how to get to that place.
