Any half-hearted New Testament reader learns that all Christians ought to expect to grow and mature throughout life. However, many churches are in a state of arrested development—continually reinforcing environments that keep folks dumb, busy, morally stunted. This week, the profs discuss factors contributing to our dearth of spiritual formation along with helpful remedies to encourage Christian maturity.
