How To Grow Spiritually

from Cat 81 Radio · host Cat 81 Radio

In “How to Grow Spiritually,” Dr. Tony Evans teaches that spiritual growth is a lifelong process that requires intentionality, discipline, and dependence on God’s Word. He explains that just as physical growth demands nourishment and exercise, spiritual maturity comes from consistent engagement with Scripture, prayer, obedience, and fellowship with other believers. Evans emphasizes that true growth begins at salvation but must continue through transformation—allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our thoughts, attitudes, and actions to reflect Christ. He warns that many believers remain spiritually immature because they rely on feelings or church attendance alone rather than developing a daily relationship with God. Using practical and biblical examples, Dr. Evans outlines key steps for growth: feeding on God’s Word regularly, walking in obedience even when it’s difficult, serving others with humility, and trusting God through trials. He reminds listeners that maturity is not about perfection, but progression—moving from spiritual infancy to stability and strength in faith. The message concludes with encouragement that as believers stay rooted in God’s truth and connected to His presence, they will bear fruit that honors Him and experience the abundant life Christ promised. “Jaggy’s already purring, Tedi’s waving goodbye, and we all thank you for joining us today on Cat81 Radio. Remember — faith over fear, and as always, share the love!”
