What does it actually mean to grow as a Christian?

We often reduce discipleship to reading the Bible more, attending another study, serving on another team, or simply trying harder. Those things can matter, but biblical discipleship is much bigger than a checklist of spiritual activities.

In this episode of Encounter Grace, Jason and Justin look at Christian growth from three different perspectives:

• God’s perspective: justification, sanctification, and glorification

• The church’s perspective: teaching and training, mentoring and modeling, serving and sacrificing

• Our personal perspective: cultivating a growing desire and delight in Christ

Along the way, we talk about why spiritual growth isn’t always a straight line, why relationships are essential to discipleship, how serving and generosity shape us, and seven practical ways to keep growing in Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I not growing spiritually like I think I should?” this conversation offers a framework for evaluating your discipleship without turning the Christian life into another performance-based checklist.

The goal isn’t simply to do more Christian things.

The goal is to become more like Jesus.
