Walking the Long Road: Faith, Perseverance, and Spiritual Growth
The way we handle our temptations should reflect the likeness of the son of god if the life of god is to follow in us, and you and I must likewise face the sufferings of the lengthy path of faith.
Have you ever felt like the journey of faith is filled with more bumps than smooth paths? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', the hosts from The Refuge Ministry tackle the tough reality of enduring hardships on the Christian path. They start with a reading from Acts 18, where Paul faces fierce opposition and is brought before the governor. This sets the stage for a deep dive into how Paul's struggles mirror the challenges we face today.
The hosts reflect on how handling temptations and sufferings in a way that reflects Christ's likeness is crucial for spiritual growth. They stress that personal ambition and selfish desires won't bring us closer to God; only a transformed nature can do that. By committing our souls to God, even in the face of rejection and trials, we can find true unity with Him. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of perseverance and choosing God's will over sin.
