217: Growing Up, Together

Are you standing strong, or getting knocked around by every new teaching and opinion? In Ephesians 4:14-16, Paul challenges us with a powerful truth: spiritual infancy is a normal beginning, but it's never meant to be our destination.We live in a world of cunning schemes and crafty arguments designed to pull us away from truth. But here's the hope: we don't grow alone. Christ has given us His body, the church, where we mature together through speaking truth in love. When we're truly connected to each other and to Christ our head, we build the strength to stand against the waves.The question isn't just "Am I growing?" but "Am I close enough to others in the body that they can speak truth into my life?" Growth happens in relationship, knit together by Christ who nourishes and sustains us.It's time to grow up, together.
