Pastor Tom Pennington lays out a simple, biblical framework for spiritual growth:
• Be rooted in Scripture — God uses His Word to shape us.
• Actively pursue obedience — putting off old habits and putting on new ones.
• Depend on the Holy Spirit — real change comes from His work in us, not from our own strength.
• Pray continually — asking God daily to guard us from sin and grow us in maturity.
This process takes effort and surrender—but it’s how we become more like Christ.
