How do we grow? As parents, spouses, business owners, and especially, as Christians? Many of us strive for growth that is linear... up and to the right. But that myth only leaves us discouraged and frustrated.
James, the brother of Jesus, paints a different picture of growth. Rather than a steady climb, growth includes setbacks, failures, mistakes, and difficulty. When we have a better grip on how we grow, we're less likely to quit when times are tough.
