Religion & Spirituality
Things just don't happen by accident, there is a natural process to all things. Take a garden for an example, plants do not just appear and produce fruit without being planted and nurtured. The is a process of preparing the ground, planting a seed, making sure it's watered and fed and the weeds and pests kept away from it. Then when the plant is mature, fruit will appear and you can enjoy green beans and tomatoes and peppers. There is a process for the Christ follower to be madeover into the image of Jesus. In this episode, we will be talking about what that process is and how a Christ follower matures into a fruit bearing little Jesus looking follower. Or something like that.
