Episode 31 - Dust on Bibles, Brand New iPhones
We explore why Christians often experience slow growth in their faith journeys despite being "saved" for years, examining the difference between intellectual belief and heart transformation.
• Scripture reminds us "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
• Biblical examples like the woman at the well and the demoniac show immediate transformation after encountering Jesus
• Many Christians "spike the football" after baptism without continuing to grow
• True rebirth happens when we allow Scripture to transform our hearts, not just inform our minds
• Churches often focus on getting people saved without emphasizing discipleship
• Jesus shouldn't be an "add-on" to our lives but the transformer of our entire being
• Our past doesn't define us when we truly surrender to God
• External pressures from family, friends, and social media can hinder our growth
• The key difference: letting Christ capture your heart, not just your mind
