Moving out of the shallows starts with feeding ourselves spiritually. But if we stop at that first step, we’ll be left spiritually fat rather than spiritually fit. How do we prevent that from happening? The next step involves a spiritual workout that’s unique for each one of us.
Many of us have viewed faith as something we do alone. We might have said that it’s private. But there’s a limit to our faith growth when we go it alone. There’s a deepening to our faith that we only experience together. When it comes to consistently growing our faith, “we” is greater than “me.” Who’s spurring on your faith and whose faith are you spurring on?
At some point, we all face a choice of whether to remain in the shallows of faith or journey to the depths. The truth is we can’t do both. We either settle for the shallows or take the plunge to grow deeper. In the final message of this series, we’ll discuss the one choice required to deepen our faith.
