Getting closer to God often requires more surrender than we expect. In this episode, we talk about the quiet cost of spiritual growth... The things God gently asks us to let go of so we can mature, be refined, and walk more closely with Him.This conversation explores why growth with God isn’t always comfortable, how consecration and sanctification shape our faith, and what it means to choose obedience even when it feels costly. If you’ve been sensing a call to deeper intimacy with God, this episode will help you discern what might be standing in the way.Whether you’re navigating a season of conviction, spiritual pruning, or simply feeling the weight of growth, this episode is an invitation to trust that God’s refining process is always purposeful.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

“HEAVENLY FATHER, I come to you in the name of JESUS. I acknowledge to YOU that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; and I recognize that I need YOUR forgiveness.I believe that YOU are the only begotten SON OF GOD, and that YOU shed YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD on the cross of Calvary and died for my sins, were resurrected on the third day, and are seated at the right hand of GOD. I repent of my sins, and I turn to YOU.YOU said in YOUR Word that if we confess with our mouth, and believe in our hearts that GOD raised JESUS from the dead, we shall be saved.I ask YOU FATHER to forgive me of all my sins, and ask You to fill me with The HOLY SPIRIT. This very moment I accept JESUS CHRIST as my own personal LORD and SAVIOR and according to YOUR Word, right now I am saved. LORD have full control of my life and help me to serve YOU and glorify YOUR HOLY NAME and praise YOU forever. Amen.”~ welcome, home
