If you’ve ever been to a Christian conference or a really inspiring parish mission, you might’ve had a moment of encounter that set you on fire for Jesus, only to grow discouraged a little while later when you don’t see progress in your spiritual life right away. We’ve had that experience too, but it’s not always the way God works. It’s what we’ve grown to expect in our culture. Think of it this way: The device you’re using to watch or listen to this can find information for us that would’ve taken hours to do only a decade or two ago. The devil loves to lean into the discouragement that comes from expecting instant growth. It’s a slow process, and it’s easy to forget how beautiful this long process of spiritual growth is.

Join us in the pew today as John tells us how to play the spiritual long game.
