In today's episode, we close out our look at 2 Peter 3:18 by talking about the role of knowledge as a growth factor. Obviously the limitless grace of God cannot be understood and appreciated unless we are well versed in it. As a disciple of Christ we are learners; and learners grow in their knowledge of the one who loves them unconditionally. This promotes continued and sustained growth.

Grace is far more than favor or the popular idea of grace being a cheap life of shortcuts that God overlooks. Grace is empowering from the love of God in that it gives stability. Peter knew better than anyone about the limitless grace and unconditional love and how it brings stability in an unstable world. Today we discuss how we are made stable by the unwavering love of our Father!

There is nothing more valuable to a person than to know they are loved and accepted. In today's episode we discover the heart of grace that is found in the unconditional love of God. 

In today's episode, Jonathan shares the essence of how the Grow in Grace Podcast was born. From 2 Peter 3:18, the organic nature of spiritual growth is rooted in God's unearned favor. Every believer should and does grow naturally as we walk in the grace of God.

Need a God who gets you? So many people have a God that seems to remain distant and silent. But that is not our God! Today's episode reveals a God that hears and sees and feels your pain. Moses is told how God not only is visiting Israel, but he is bringing them out in order that he may bring them into a greater existence in freedom and abundance with milk and honey.

We are often plagued in the midst of our chaos by a haunting past or an uncertain future. What if we came face to face with a God that transcends both? God gave Moses the message of His covenant identity I AM WHO I AM. God is not simply a God of the past or a God of our future, He is a RIGHT NOW GOD! 

We continue in this episode resolving Moses' identity crisis when he asks God "Who Am I?" Self-doubt plagues all of us in some way. We often feel inadequate to the task because we don't know what God brings to the table! God doesn't bother addressing Moses' question directly, rather He reveals one of the most critical features of our future; God reveals His own identity and assurance of His presence. There is really nothing else we need!

Before we can realize our future and answer the call of God, we must settle the matters of our past. Often, our past is littered with the unresolved. Because our Father cares so deeply for us and our future, he gently but firmly helps us work through it with his steadfast love and grace. Today's episode shows us how God worked with Moses deal with his.

When we encounter a holy God, our first response is often to hide our face. There are many reasons why. But ultimately, it is because we recognize the holiness of God in the encounter which makes us shrink from Him. But in today's episode, we see God's willingness to engage Moses in an effort to reconnect him to his covenant community. This must happen before great exploits can be achieved.

In today's episode we discuss how God's messenger speaks to Moses about his connection to covenant and community within Israel. The key to going forward for Moses, he must reconnect to the God of covenant with Israel despite 400 years of slavery and Moses' 40 years of hiding from his past.
