Lena: Hey Miles, I've been thinking about something that seems to come up a lot in my church community—this idea of "spiritual growth." People talk about it like it's this clear, obvious thing, but I'm not always sure what they mean. Is it just about knowing more Bible verses, or is there something deeper happening?
Miles: That's such a good question, Lena. I think many Christians feel the same confusion. Spiritual growth isn't just about accumulating knowledge—it's about transformation. In 2 Peter, there's this beautiful progression where faith leads to goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and ultimately love. It's like a spiritual journey with real milestones.
Lena: Right, so it's not just knowing more, but becoming more like Christ? I've heard people describe feeling stuck spiritually—like they're not growing fast enough.
Miles: Exactly! And that's actually normal. One of our sources mentioned that spiritual growth often looks different than we expect. It's like watching a child grow—day by day you might not notice changes, but when you look back over years, the transformation is remarkable. Let's explore what the Bible actually says about this growth process and how we can nurture it in practical ways.
