In this episode, Jeff Vanderstelt explores what it means to establish spiritual newborns in their faith, drawing powerful parallels to caring for a physical infant. He unpacks five essential practices—from affirming identity in Christ, to nurturing growth through community, being spiritually fed, and learning to give voice to one’s spiritual needs—that help new believers become rooted and thriving disciples. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own spiritual foundation and consider how to better support others in this vital stage of the disciple-making journey.
