Sound Doctrine and Spiritual Growth: Starting the Year Anchored in Truth

As we begin 2026, many Christians commit to more Bible reading, prayer, and service. These are good and necessary priorities, but one essential area is often overlooked: sound doctrine. In this first episode of Contending for the Word Q&A for the new year, Dave Jenkins explains why healthy, biblical teaching is vital for spiritual growth, holiness, and discernment. Drawing from passages such as 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Titus 2, and 2 Timothy 4:3–4, this episode shows how Scripture shapes the mind, steadies the heart, protects believers from deception, and consistently points us to Christ. This episode offers a clear, biblical call to begin the year grounded in God's unchanging truth, reminding us that spiritual maturity is built on sound doctrine, not shifting feelings or cultural trends.
