What fuels spiritual growth and maturity? Many believe it’s personality, circumstances, or even religious devotion, but the Bible highlights a different answer—appetite. In this episode, Stephen Davey explores Paul’s testimony from Philippians 3, where Paul reveals his deep hunger to know Christ, live by His resurrection power, and even share in His sufferings.

Paul’s transformation from trusting in accomplishments to fully relying on Christ offers profound insights for every believer. He traded his religious accolades and personal achievements for the surpassing value of knowing Jesus. Stephen explains how this shift in appetite changed Paul’s life and challenges listeners to reflect on what dampens or fuels their own hunger for Christ.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry or wondered why your growth has stalled, this episode will offer encouragement and practical wisdom. Learn how to cultivate a hunger for God’s Word, live in His power, and depend on Him through every trial.

This message is a call to refocus your life on the only satisfaction that truly lasts—an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Don’t settle for less when God offers so much more. Tune in now to discover how to deepen your hunger for Christ and grow in Him.
