In this episode we sit down with Derek Peters, Executive Pastor here at Gateway Baptist, to explore what it looks like to be more like Jesus. We discuss what it means for truth to be revelatory, the difference between religion and relationship, and how we can know the truth of who we are in God – and then live in it.

This week we wrap up our three-part series on spiritual formation with Colin Stoodley. We explore the concept of multiplication, as well as how we can discern what God is saying and then do it.

Colin Stoodley is back for part two of three, exploring spiritual formation. In this episode we look at an excerpt from Tim Keller’s book ‘Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God’. We unpack some of the deficits we find within ourselves that we often operate out of, and how we can face and overcome them.
