What if the problem with your faith isn’t that it’s ordinary—but that it stopped growing?

In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, Pastor Jason Barnett explores 1 Corinthians 3:1–9, where the apostle Paul speaks to Christians who genuinely belong to Christ, yet find themselves spiritually stuck. Not lost. Not rebellious. Just… stalled.

This message, "Don’t Stay Ordinary", is for anyone who loves Jesus but feels like their faith hasn’t moved forward in a long time. It’s for those who grew up in church, those questioning what they were taught, and those deconstructing parts of their faith while still holding onto Christ.

Paul reminds us that spiritual maturity isn’t about appearances, comparison, or religious performance. It’s about trusting God with the slow, patient work of growth. The Holy Spirit isn’t given as a status symbol—but as a gift for transformation.

Recorded during Snowmeggedon 2026, this episode has a more relaxed, living-room feel—but the message is clear and timely: God meets us in ordinary places, and He is still at work, even when growth feels slow or invisible.

If you’re weary, questioning, or longing for a faith that feels real again, this episode invites you to take a breath, stay rooted, and trust that ordinary is not the end of your story.
