Arrested Development in the Church | S1 E19


Listen Later

Any half-hearted New Testament reader learns that Christians ought to expect to grow and mature throughout life. However, many churches are in a state of arrested development—they continually reinforce environments that keep folks dumb, busy, and morally stunted. This week, the profs discuss factors contributing to our dearth of spiritual formation along with helpful remedies to encourage Christian maturity.
