Season 5 Episode 3 The Middle is Holy - When Growth Hurts More Than It Encourages

Why does becoming more like Christ sometimes feel harder instead of easier? In this episode, my friend Jessica and I explore the tension of spiritual growth — the kind that stretches us, challenges us, and sometimes leaves us feeling alone or misunderstood. We talk about why real growth can feel uncomfortable, the difference between holy stretching and unhealthy striving, and how God uses difficult seasons to shape deeper maturity. So If you’re in a season where growth feels more painful than encouraging, this conversation will remind you that God is still working — even in the stretch.How to connect with us:Email [email protected] or find us on Facebook -  Beyond The 12 PodcastMusic track: Hope by Agus Alvarez & Waesto
