Podcasts about spiritual maturity

In this episode, Bobby Bosler warns young people about a subtle but deadly danger to a fruitful Christian life. Drawing from Jesus' parable of the sower in Luke 8, he explains how believers can genuinely hear God's Word, step forward in obedience, and yet still fail to bring fruit to maturity. The problem is not lack of desire, but the slow choking effect of everyday pressures, money, and pleasure-driven living.Topics DiscussedThe parable of the sower and its application to believersWhat it means to “go forth” without bearing lasting fruitHow the cares of life quietly suffocate God's callingRiches, debt, and financial pressure as spiritual choke pointsPleasure and comfort as false motivators, even in ministryLearning to cast care on the Lord instead of carrying it aloneWhy fruitfulness requires endurance, not excitementKey TakeawaysObedience can be sincere and still become unfruitful if unchecked pressures dominateCares are unavoidable, but carrying them instead of casting them is deadlyMoney can choke God's work whether it is pursued or poorly managedPleasure is a terrible compass for life decisions, even spiritual onesGod's calling flourishes in surrender and dependence, not comfort If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

Ready to grow in faith? Today on 15 Minutes in the Word, Joyce reveals how to move past spiritual stagnation and press into God's Word to live out His best for your life.

This episode teaches that following Jesus means embracing the narrow way—a path of humility, pruning, and sacrifice where God uses pressure to form Christlike character. Through Scripture and personal stories, it shows the narrow place as preparation, not punishment, calling believers to release even past blessings, trust God fully, and grow in prayer, mission, and love for others.

Conflict, suffering, and global instability aren't framed as failures of the system here, they're revealed as catalysts for awakening, testing whether we respond with fear or clarity.We also address why spiritual bypassing keeps people stuck, how vulnerability functions as a stabilizing force rather than a weakness, and why embodiment — not dissociation — is required for real spiritual maturity.If you've felt unsure how to stay grounded, this episode offers clarity.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:22] What vulnerability reveals about transformation in the present[08:44] Alec's dream about his grandfather revealed the movement from 3rd to 4th density consciousness[15:19] The Buddha in Red Face story[21:11] Integrating masculine and feminine energies increases the strength of both rather than diminishing either[32:52] When Edmund discovered The Law of One[42:53] The eight densities of consciousness [53:01] Practicing love during division without falling into spiritual bypassing[01:10:01] Why those in service to self are actually serving us by offering opportunities to choose love[01:20:05] How the veil of forgetting and free will allow us to remember our true nature as creators[01:43:58] Distinguishing your own essence from external noise through stillness and Steiner's practices[01:57:35] Why true forgiveness becomes unnecessary when we understand our projections[02:17:16] Why we cannot return to tribal ways and must move forward with new forms of conscious community[02:39:30] What the Germanic and Slavic epochs reveal about humanity's progression from individual thinking to soul-warmed communityRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Beyond Verbal Autists, Telepathy & The Nature Of Thought with Melissa Jolly Graves | YouTubeSoulstice Magic, 13 Holy Nights & Neurogenic Qigong featuring Lara Day | YouTubeMemoirs of a Child Sex Slave: Quest For Love featuring Anneke Lucas | YoutubeResources Mentioned:Law of One | WebsiteBe Here Farm + Nature | WebsiteBeing Human Event | WebsiteBuddha in Redface by Eduardo Duran | BookTranscendent Sex by Jenny Wade | BookThe Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookMutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan | Book or AudiobookClick here to enroll in the 2026 season of Being Human.

In this Faith Talks episode, Janna and Judson "Faith" reflect on what it means to begin a new year marked not merely by resolutions, but by genuine steps of faith. Drawing primarily from Colossians, they explain how biblical faith is rooted in knowing who God is, trusting His promises, and allowing His Word to shape daily decisions. Rather than chasing comfort or vague spiritual goals, listeners are encouraged to let Scripture dwell richly in their hearts so faith can actively walk forward in real life.Topics DiscussedWhy Colossians begins with truth before commands and how that shapes obedienceFaith as a walk grounded in God's character, not feelings or circumstancesLetting the peace of God rule, even in uncertainty, trials, or pressureThe role of Scripture in overcoming temptation and spiritual battlesUnderstanding identity in Christ and resisting lies with biblical truthDiscerning God's will through knowing His heart in His WordClosed doors, God's timing, and trusting Him for miraculous openingsPractical ideas like claiming verses, “I am in Christ” statements, and intentional prayer for faith stepsKey TakeawaysFaith for the new year is not primarily about goals but about obedient steps rooted in truth.Knowing who God is precedes trusting what God asks you to do.Scripture is essential fuel for peace, victory over temptation, and clarity in God's will.Believers are already complete in Christ and are called to live out that reality by faith.A meaningful spiritual resolution is to say yes to God's Word and walk accordingly, whatever the year may bring.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation Podcast designed to help young ladies grow in faith and live it out daily.

As we begin a new year at Integrity Church, this standalone message calls us to start with the right foundation. From Luke 14:25–33, Mature and Multiply challenges us to honestly examine who—or what—has preeminence in our lives. Jesus makes it clear that following Him is not about adding Him to our schedules or priorities, but about surrendering everything to Him. This sermon invites us to count the cost of discipleship, reject half-hearted faith, and embrace a life where Jesus is not merely part of our lives, but our life. As we look ahead to a new year, this message sets the tone for growing in spiritual maturity and multiplying our lives for God's mission.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Loving God...Loving the Church...Loving Our Community and the World

Loving God...Loving the Church...Loving Our Community and the World

Standards are of extreme importance. Teachers expect students to meet the standards of excellence in education; employers expect employees to achieve the company's set standards; organizations expect volunteers to work toward the standards necessary to achieve their stated goals. If this is true in human relationships, it is most certainly true in our relationship with God.  This sermon will delve into understanding the dangers of sin and how these dangers put us in jeopardy of spiritual chaos. It will also explore how we press forward to achieve the goals of godliness in life. I A sermon given by Greg Chandler on December 14, 2025.

BIBLE STUDY

Everyone desires spiritual power, but few consider the discipline that produces it. Why did Jesus fast before He preached, healed, or confronted darkness? This devotion explores the hidden role of fasting in shaping maturity, strength, and spiritual authority. Listen closely; this may redefine growth for you.This devotional was aired on Radio HCI Today via the WeLove Radio App.

WE'RE now in the sixth and last part of our series, TABLE TALKS. Talk 6 presents the ultimate answer to the question unpacked in previous talks: What does spiritual maturity really mean? This Talk is crucial for The Feast because how we define spiritual maturity will define how we do church. If we have a wrong understanding of spiritual maturity, we'll end up building the wrong church. Talk 6, titled The Greatest Metric gives yes, the important metric or measurement of spiritual maturity or what we call holiness. We come to know this in the command of Jesus in John 15:12: “Love each other as I have loved you.” (John 15:12 NIV). So, the simple way to holiness is to Love like Jesus– which is the key message of Talk 6. How do we know we are doing this right? What's the metric of holiness? Talk 6 presents 9 Signs of Spiritual Maturity.

The giftsand offices to the early church in order that the people of the church, thebelievers, would grow to spiritual maturity and display to the world what itreally means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Acts11:26 tells us that the believers, the disciples, were “first calledChristians at Antioch” of Syria. Remember that this was a church made up believersfrom various nationalities and backgrounds. There were Gentile believers. Therewere Jewish believers. And no doubt, some were there from other nationalities. Itwas a mixed group of believers but we find that these people worked together insuch a way they were called Christians, which means they were Christlike. Thespiritual life is not a destination that we finally arrive at, and we are now spirituallymature. No, my friend, the real spiritual mature believer's life is a journey,it is a daily walk in the right direction. Yesterday we talked about the wascalled “a perfect man” in these verses. What it means to be “perfect”.Christ tells us that we should be perfect even as our Father in heaven isperfect. That means we are like Christ. Which means that we are in a placewhere we are being obedient to the Lord and the Holy Spirit's leading and doingand living out the will of God moment by moment in our daily lives.  Ilike what Oswald Chambers says about this. When we really have grown to a placeof spiritual maturity, on our journey, “we are walking by faith, not by sight”.He said, that it is not a matter of trying to figure out and doing the will ofGod, but “we are the will of God”.  Wesee that in these verses. We're not like children any longer, walking accordingto the lust of the flesh, walking according to the desires of our heart, doingwhat we want to do. No, we're living in the Holy Spirit, walking by faith, inthe Word of God. Again notice, that the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastorsand teachers were given for the equipping of the saints for the work of theministry and for the edifying of the body of Christ. Paul,as awesome as he was as an Apostle and disciple and follower of Christ andchurch planter, he said, "I've not yet arrived. I still reach forth."(Philippians 3:12-14).  We're alwaysreaching forth. We are still every day coming to the knowledge that I have somuch more to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. It's a growthevery day. It is a daily going in the right direction!The“work of the ministry” also includes the edifying of the body of Christ. Thisproduces unity in the church. That's why they were called Christians first atAntioch. There was that unity of believers despite their background, despitetheir culture, despite where they came from, rich and poor, etc. They worktogether in love displaying the characteristics of Christlikeness in theiractions and attitudes. Paulgoes on to say that we have come to the “unity of the faith”. Which is based onthat body of truth concerning the person of Jesus. What do you believe aboutJesus. That's why he goes on to say and of the knowledge of the Son of God. Whois Jesus? If someone doesn't believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, Godin the flesh, He is deity, and that He is divine, the apostle John and otherwriters of the New Testament make it very clear, they are antichrist. They are nota true follower of Christ. (Read 1 and 2 John). TheChristian life is a walk of faith. “We walk by faith not by sight” (2 Corinthians5:7). And “We are no longer children tossed to and fro” (v. 14).Children are selfish. Children live on their emotions. They feel good and theyshow in their attitude and actions that they feel good. But then when they feelbad, in their actions and attitude they act bad and they treat others wrong. Theylive by their feelings. There are too many people in the church like that. Godwants us to always be growing spiritually where we're displaying thecharacteristics of Jesus Christ in our attitude and in everything we say and do. 

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

Did Yeshua contradict Moses when He said, “love your enemies”? We show how Matthew 5:43–48 aligns with Exodus 23:4–5 and why Yeshua corrected tradition, not Torah. We also explain “be perfect” (teleios) as spiritual maturity and give practical steps to love enemies. Scriptures (4–6):Matthew 5:43–48; Exodus 23:4–5; Leviticus 19:18; Luke 6:27–28; Romans 5:10; Matthew 5:17 Takeaway (1–2 sentences):Loving our enemies isn't optional; it's how we resemble our Father. Pray, greet, and help even those who oppose you—this is mature obedience.

In this episode of The Mountain Podcast, Samuel Goulet reflects on the church's journey through building transitions and emphasizes that the true foundation of the Mountain Church is God's enduring love. Drawing from John 3:16 and Romans 8, he explores how God's love is the central narrative connecting generations, offering daily salvation and freedom rather than condemnation. Goulet encourages listeners to embrace spiritual maturity by prioritizing love over displays of power, highlighting that love is the lasting force that sustains faith, community, and personal growth. The episode concludes with a prayer for a revival of love within the church and its membersTh

Why is it that two people can face the same hardships in life but respond so differently? One person exhibits peace and confidence in God while the other is full of worry, anxiety and anger. What makes the difference between the two? In week 3 of our sermon series “In the Making” we'll dive into one of the clearest markers of spiritual maturity, unshakable faith. How do we become men and women whose faith is not rattled when life shakes us?

Getting ready to feast on all God's word is not first an intellectual challenge; it is first a moral challenge.

Summary In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley welcomes best-selling author and leadership coach Patrick Lencioni for a candid conversation about the intersection of faith, humility, and leadership. Patrick shares how spiritual maturity and self-awareness shape the way leaders serve others, especially in ministry and organizational life. He and Michael discuss how pride and insecurity often hide behind titles or success—and how true leadership begins with embracing our dependence on Christ. Patrick reflects on his personal journey of learning to lead through weakness, not image, and explains why the healthiest teams are built on honesty and vulnerability, not performance. Together, they unpack the dangers of ego-driven ministry and the freedom that comes when leaders prioritize humility, obedience, and joy in the Lord over outcomes. This conversation challenges every listener—pastor, leader, or parent—to evaluate what drives their influence. Through laughter, honesty, and deep biblical truth, Patrick and Michael remind us that leadership in the kingdom of God is not about control or recognition—it's about service and surrender. Takeaways True leadership begins with humility, not authority. Pride and insecurity often disguise themselves as confidence. The healthiest teams are marked by honesty and vulnerability. Spiritual maturity means serving from dependence on Christ, not self. Leaders must resist the temptation to measure worth by results. God calls us to lead through obedience and joy, not image or control. LINKS MENTIONED: The Table Group Pat's books Watch the highlights and full version of this interview on our Youtube channel.
