What If You Planned Your Spiritual Growth Like You Plan Everything Else in Your Life? A Conversation for Discipleship in the New Year | 32

Have you ever heard the quote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”? So what if this year, we stopped setting vague spiritual goals. And instead, we did something different. In this episode, I’m sharing why simply saying “I want to grow spiritually” isn’t enough. And how creating a simple, intentional spiritual growth plan can change everything. I walk you through what I’m personally changing this year. I also share a powerful story from our family that reframed spiritual growth for me in a whole new way. Growth happens when we get what we actually need. That’s true physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’ve felt stuck, inconsistent, or like you’re just coasting in your faith, this conversation will help you slow down, reflect, and take ownership of your spiritual life with grace and purpose. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about being intentional so real growth can happen.
