The Spiritual Mentor You Think You Need (Isn’t the One You Actually Need)

Описание: in this episode, we talk about spiritual parents and the role they play in helping us grow as disciples of Jesus. Many of us can point to people who invested in our lives, encouraged us, and helped shape our faith. Those relationships matter deeply. But they are not the ultimate source of our growth.

The spiritual parent we ultimately need is God Himself.

When we understand this, it changes how we view discipleship, spiritual maturity, and even the struggles we face in our growth. Human mentors may plant and water, but it is God who brings the increase. And through His Spirit, He promises that we will never be left as spiritual orphans.

✔️ Why God is the spiritual parent every disciple ultimately needs
