Episode 445 // The Truth About Jesus and How to Stop Trying to "Earn" God’s Favor

Hey Sis! 🎙️ 

Today, we’re diving into 2 Peter 1:5-8 and wrapping up our study on growing in faith, followed by Day 5 of our devotional, “New Year, New Mercies” by Paul Tripp. We’re talking about spiritual maturity and how we actively grow in Christ. Because let’s be real—none of this happens by accident!

Inside this episode:
✨ What it really means to grow in faith and maturity
✨ The danger of being spiritually stagnant 😳
✨ A powerful reminder that your acceptance with God isn’t based on your efforts—it’s based on Christ!

📖 Scripture: 2 Peter 1:5-8 (ESV & Amplified)

Sis, always pray first & remember: You don’t go in your own strength. Amen? Amen!

May the rest of your day be the best of your day! 💜
