“Alright, let’s talk vegetables… or technically, fruits. This is a cucumber. And it’s a lot like us — fresh, full of potential, but still kind of… plain. Nothing wrong with it, but let’s be honest — no one’s lining up for cucumber-flavored chips. On the other hand a pickle. Same vegetable — totally different vibe. Pickles have flavor. They’ve been changed. Transformed. But here's the thing: this guy didn’t get this way by trying harder. It didn’t wake up one morning and say, ‘Today’s the day! I’m going full dill!’”……..“It got this way by sitting. Soaking. Being immersed in a new environment — day after day. That’s what changed it. And honestly? That’s how spiritual growth works too.” “You don’t become more like Jesus by gritting your teeth. You become like Him by staying close — abiding. That’s what we’re diving into today.”
