growth

Do you ever feel like your spiritual transformation is taking too long? Do you get frustrated with other believers and wonder why they are not looking more Christlike? Do you sometimes feel like the Holy Spirit needs a little help in straightening out Christians around you? In this episode, Ruth McDonald shares from the Bible about the way the Holy Spirit works to re-make us increasingly into the image of Christ. (2 Cor. 3:18)

Even though the process sometimes seems to take longer than we'd like, the Spirit is working to restore us to our original condition when we were created "in the image of God." 

Ruth shares several powerful testimonies and stories that provide strong evidence that the Holy Spirit can be trusted to resurrect traits and resemblances to the likeness we were meant to show. 

You will be encouraged by this episode to be patient with yourself and with others, trusting the process and the One who restores, transforms, and changes hearts.

Which of your theological convictions are you ABSOLUTELY certain of? Chances are good that someone else in this world is as ABSOLUTELY certain that you're wrong (and that their opposing view is right). This is not to say that there is no truth, or that we can't know truth, but rather that what is absolutely certain is that there are many people in the world who absolutely, staunchly, (often militantly) believe something that is false. How would you know if the person who is wrong is YOU? A good start would be to listen to what your opponents have to say. Hard to do? Sometimes. Unpopular? Certainly. Will there be people you love who will freak out and warn you to run away from the "heretics" who dare to disagree? Maybe. The good news is, if those heretics are absolutely as crazy as you always thought, then having carefully considered their stance you will rest more comfortably with your own (and you might even make a interesting new friend, and help them change their mind!) On the other hand, if it turns out you were the one who is wrong, you won't have to stay there any longer. Win/Win.

How does treating our life as one big “retreat” change our relationship to adversity?

In Pete’s experience of attending retreats, where people step into a container to do intentional personal development work, they “pay to be triggered!” and intentionally go to uncomfortable places in order to learn more about themselves & grow.

He noticed how people then leave that container & go back to their old patterns, without that same level of curiosity & inquiry around their own triggers.

In this episode, Pete explores

- How do you take the mindset & framework of “the retreat” and apply it to life?

- What are the fundamental ingredients & principles that need to be in place in order to make your life “a container”?

- How can your experience of life change once you apply this mindset?
