What do baseball fundamentals and spiritual growth have in common? In this episode, we explore Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1:9–14 and discover the rhythm of “include and transcend.” Just like athletes never move beyond the basics but keep returning to them, followers of Jesus are called to hold onto the fundamentals of faith—prayer, Scripture, worship, service—while also growing deeper and moving outward.

We’ll talk about the spiral of spiritual growth, what it really means to “bear fruit in every good work,” and how the Spirit equips us to endure with patience and respond with joyful gratitude. Most of all, we’ll be reminded of the foundational reality: we have been rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of the beloved Son.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep growing in your faith without losing sight of the basics, this episode is for you.
