How to Build Faith That Outlasts Motivation
If you’ve ever felt fired up to change, promised God you’d be different, started reading your Bible, praying more, showing up to church… and then quietly drifted back to the same habits—this episode is for you. The problem isn’t that you don’t “want it” badly enough. The problem is that motivation fades, and when pain or inspiration disappears, your actions disappear too.
In this episode of the Known Disciple Project, we open James 1:22–24 and unpack why so many Christians become hearers of the Word but not doers—and why that leads to feeling stuck, lukewarm, and spiritually stalled. You’ll learn the biblical definition of spiritual growth (it’s not information—it’s transformation), why learning can feel productive without producing obedience, and how to build a daily plan that creates real follow-through as a disciple of Jesus. If you want consistent spiritual discipline, deeper connection with God, and a faith that shows up in your life—not just your head—this is your practical, Scripture-based reset.
What You’ll Learn / Highlights
Why spiritual growth = transformation, not just Bible knowledge
The “mirror” warning in James 1 and what it reveals about discipleship
Why pain and inspiration start change—but rarely sustain it
How to stop relying on feelings and start relying on discipline + self-control
The right order: salvation → transformation → actions as evidence
A simple “bookend your day” routine (morning + evening with Jesus)
2 journaling questions to expose where you’re stuck
The “one thing this week” method to build obedience into habit
