Slow Spiritual Growth Is Still Real Growth

from Contending for the Word Q&A · host Dave Jenkins

Why does spiritual growth often feel slow? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why slow growth is not a sign of failure, but evidence of God's faithful work in the believer's life. Drawing from Mark 4:26–29, 2 Corinthians 3:18, and Philippians 1:6, this episode shows: • Growth is gradual by God's design • Transformation happens over time • God is the one producing lasting change • Slow growth often produces deeper roots If you feel discouraged in your walk with Christ, this episode will encourage you to rest in God's ongoing work and trust His faithful process of sanctification.
