Have you ever felt like your spiritual efforts are just spinning wheels—praying, studying scriptures, attending church, yet wondering if you're actually progressing? This episode tackles the spiritual paradox many face: the more we dedicate ourselves to Christ, the more clearly we see our flaws and imperfections.
Morgan and Joel explore what they call "the law of doing it so many times"—how repeating spiritual practices until they become second nature transforms us from awkward practitioners to confident disciples. They discuss the crucial difference between faith (believing Christ exists) and hope (believing in what Christ promises), and how this distinction sustains us through spiritual monotony.
The hosts share personal examples from missionary work, dating struggles, and addiction battles to illustrate how spiritual competence develops through repetition. They challenge the misconception that repeated mistakes indicate failure, offering instead a powerful reframing: "As long as you don't let your most recent failure become your last failure, then you're not a failure."
This conversation provides fresh perspective on why God gives us the gift of time—not as punishment but as opportunity for development. Whether you're facing extended trials, working through repentance, or simply feeling stuck in your spiritual routines, you'll find renewed purpose in the spiritual "grind" that shapes both what you build and who you become. Ready to transform your spiritual hamster wheel into a meaningful journey? Listen now and discover how God's time is always working in your favor.
