Becoming More Like Jesus
from God’s Plan Hosted by Stefanie Benitez Polanco
This episode reminds listeners that salvation is the starting point, not the finish line. Stefanie explains that becoming more like Jesus requires training, not just trying — the same way physical strength requires consistent practice, not occasional effort. Drawing from Pastor JJ’s teaching and James 1:21–22, she emphasizes that spiritual growth happens when we do the Word, not just hear it. She highlights Jesus’ command to “love one another,” noting that it feels impossible at times, but we’re called to practice, not perform. Growth is a process, just like Jesus coming as a baby showed us — transformation takes time. Stefanie encourages listeners to identify where God is asking them to stop trying and start practicing, reminding them that every small act of obedience is part of becoming more like Christ. JJ is the lead pastor at Journey Church in Fern Park, Florida.
