David McKay | on the need for personal spiritual maintenance.

In this interview, Spencer Dalke talks with minister David McKay about the importance of regularly examining our spiritual health. Drawing on themes from his pastoral ministry and a sermon series developed after the COVID lockdowns, McKay explains how Christians can assess their growth without falling into unhealthy introspection or discouragement. The conversation explores key marks of spiritual vitality, including love for Christ, feeding on Scripture, prayer, worship, fellowship, repentance, and perseverance through trials. McKay emphasizes that self-examination must always lead believers back to Christ, whose grace is sufficient for every weakness and failure. He also offers encouragement for those enduring long-term suffering, reminding listeners that God uses even difficult seasons to deepen faith, cultivate humility, and conform His people to the likeness of Jesus. Ultimately, this episode is a call to pursue spiritual health through the ordinary means of grace while resting in the hope and strength that Christ alone provides.  Featured work: A Spiritual Checkup for a Healthy Life with Christ  For more faith-filled, Gospel-centered content, download the Pilgrim Radio app today on Google Play and Apple, or stream at PilgrimRadio.com.
