What's Taking So Long?

Just A Guy In The Pew Podcast

If you’ve ever been to a big conference or a really inspiring parish mission, you might’ve had a moment of encounter that set you on fire for Jesus, only to grow discouraged a little while later when you don’t see immediate progress in your spiritual life. We’ve had that experience too. God doesn't work on our time though. Instant gratification is what we’ve grown to expect in our culture, but it's not that way in the spiritual life. The devil loves to lean into the discouragement that comes from expecting instant growth. It’s a slow process, and it’s easy to forget just how beautiful this long process of spiritual growth is. God knows what He's doing and it's up to us to be patient and to persevere. Join us in the pew today as John talks about how to put aside our need for instant gratification and the beauty of playing the spiritual long game.
