Under Construction: An optimistic conversation about spiritual growth

Entrepreneurs create business plans projecting the growth curve of their startup. Runners follow a training regimen for a personal best on race day. City planners seek “smart growth” through walkable space and mixed-use development. Growth is all around us.

Yet when it comes to spirituality, our secular context can make even basic maintenance of faith a challenge. Simply not quitting begins to feel like an achievement. But the Bible is much more hopeful. It seems to suggest that God is lovingly longing to build into us more profound spiritual depths and ever-unfolding character and greater passion for God’s coming Reign. Come join our conversation in which we explore the tension between our experience and God’s relentless optimism.
