Your growing pains aren't setbacks—they're God's way of maturing you for purpose, perseverance, and spiritual victory.

Full Episode Description: Growth is rarely comfortable—but it's always necessary. In this episode, we explore what it means to experience spiritual "growing pains" and how God uses challenges to shape and mature us. Philippians 2:12–13 reminds us that while we work out our salvation, it is God who works in us to fulfill His purpose.

We'll break down how trials, discipline, and spiritual nourishment produce perseverance, maturity, and a Christ-like character. You'll learn how to:

• Crave spiritual growth like newborns seeking pure milk (1 Peter 2:2)

• Rid yourself of malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander (1 Peter 2:1)

• Transform trials into joy and let perseverance finish its work (James 1:2–4)

• Recognize the spiritual battle behind your struggles and stand firm (Ephesians 6:12)

• Live as a fragrance of Christ, bringing God's presence to those around you (2 Corinthians 2:14–15)

If you're facing discomfort, uncertainty, or trials, this episode will encourage you to see your "growing pains" as the signs of God's refining work in your life.
