Everything starts with a seed, and trees don't sprout in a day. In this episode I encourage you to start right where you are. Even if you only have a few minutes a day, the idea is to take in the daily nourishment and GROW, little by little. 
Also, I share some really cool discoveries from John 1.

Most of us would probably say we don’t read the Bible as much as we should, so I think this is a good question to ask.

Why don’t I read the Bible like I should? It comes down to two things for me. I share those in this episode, plus, some encouragement for you.

We’ve been talking about Spiritual Growth, and last week I mentioned a small booklet that helped me memorize scripture. Now, trust me…I’m just like you! Memorizing verses isn’t easy, but after reading this booklet, I decided to commit some time to it. Here are my results…

There is an internal conversation going on in our hearts. Often, it's a repeating chorus. We play it over and over. Too many times, these words, these repeated choruses, damage us. Lies we’ve been told, lies we tell ourselves. Over and over, we play the same songs. Fears about the future, pain from the past, dreaded expectations. 

But to meditate on God’s word is to change the tune. This is what we're talking about in today's episode.

In this episode, we’re talking about Spiritual Growth.
Hebrews 5:14 says, “Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.”

Spiritual maturity doesn’t just happen with the passage of time. The recipients of the letter to the Hebrews had been believers long enough to be teachers themselves. Instead, the writer says they needed to be taught again the basics of the Christian faith. 

How about you? What would your growth assessment be? Not to worry, whatever it is, you can change it.  

Spiritual maturity comes to those who train for it. And that's just what we're doing in this series on Spiritual Growth.

For years I was on an up and down spiritual rollercoaster. I knew I needed a change, but it wasn't enough just to know that. It was time to DO something. To take action. To actually make the change.
Hebrews 5 teaches us some great truths about spiritual maturity and we take a look at those in this episode.

Here is the devotional I mentioned: http://www.walkthru.org/devo-magazines/closer-walk-devotional-magazine-detail

Another tactic of the enemy: getting us to believe the Bible says things it doesn't really say. 
We need to read the Bible for context, read carefully, and understand what God is saying and what He isn't. 

What happens when we believe lies about the Bible? We talk about that in today's episode.
