Christ Centered Growth

Christ Centered Growth

We often wonder how to live our daily lives in a way that is pleasing to God. We struggle because we still make mistakes. But God does not expect us to be perfect in this life. What He expects is growth. That we would grow in Him daily. He works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure, and He gives us everything we need to grow. In this podcast, we explore the important questions of the Christian life. The ones many people are asking but don’t always get clear, grounded answers to. Through Scripture-centered conversations, we work through what it means to be saved, to grow, and to live out your faith every day. Join Merrilyn in this journey of growth.
