What does true consistency in faith look like? Many Christians struggle with a perfectionist approach to spiritual disciplines, feeling devastated when they miss a day of Bible reading or prayer. But as Pastor B explains, God's view of consistency differs radically from our streak-counting mentality.

Drawing from Paul's powerful words in Philippians 3, this episode reframes spiritual consistency as persistent forward motion rather than flawless performance. "I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection, but I press on," Paul writes. This approach liberates us from the crushing weight of legalism and reveals the path to true spiritual growth.

The journey from spiritual "milk" to "meat" represents a natural progression requiring patience and perseverance. Just as meat takes longer to chew but provides greater nourishment, deeper spiritual truths demand more time and focus but equip us for life's most challenging trials. Through practical rhythms and spiritual disciplines, we build the stamina needed for consistent faith, even when feelings fluctuate. Most importantly, we can rest in the assurance that "there is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Your imperfect consistency is covered by perfect grace.
