Disordered Development | How We Grow Part 2 | Matthew 5.43-47

In part 2 of our series called 'HOW TO GROW', we will look at what can happen to our faith when life gets chaotic and complicated and new. Sometimes we find our foundation - our 'container' - to be a little less dependable or satisfying. Sometimes we are enticed to consider something new. Sometimes we have doubts. This is disordered development. 

'HOW TO GROW' is a series exploring spiritual formation, the process by which our faith matures and adapts and expands and settles and fluctuates. Like the human body that grows, the mind that creates new neural pathways, or a relationship that deepens over time - our spiritual lives develop. Faith is not simply a list of beliefs, but a relational dynamic that fluctuates. How we tend to our faith and invest in our spiritual growth can make all the difference in living a life of meaning and purpose.
