Justin Kendrick | Habits For Spiritual Growth, 147

Justin Kendrick joins Amber to discuss creating habits for spiritual growth, moving beyond ordinary faith, and loving Jesus more.

Habits of Spiritual Growth Questions Justin and Amber Discuss:

(4:14) Share a little of your faith journey with us.  When did you come to know Jesus?

(7:07) Part of becoming a disciple of Jesus is believing "God is deeply satisfied with who you are." Expound on that a bit.

(12:59) You wrote, "If you ask a mature Christian at your church to 'disciple,' you he or she will usually meet you for coffee, listen to your problems, and encourage you to read the Bible. Those are all really good things. But is that all there is to discipleship?" So I ask you, Is that all there is to discipleship?

(19:00) What are some crucial habits for spiritual growth?

(31:01) What role does "burying your ordinary" play in adopting these habits and experiencing spiritual growth?

(34:20) You discuss the idea of trusting more instead of trying more. What are some ways you encourage followers of Jesus to practice trusting vs. trying?

(39:29) What do you think churches are getting wrong when it comes to helping people develop habits for spiritual growth?

Quotes to Remember:
"In our culture, we often think, I'm important because I accomplished this or because I make this money or because all these different status symbols we have. But God says, you're important, because I love you, period."

"When you receive grace through Christ. You stand blameless before God on the merits of Jesus. Now, if that's true, it should become the bedrock of my confidence."

"How do we intentionally grow in a process of discipleship?  What we found was everything begins with habits, whatever you do consistently, that's what gets momentum and health and growth and stability in your life."

"Do you have a plan to grow your soul and your spirit in your faith?"
