3 Key Points:
- Life is filled with seasons of growth and change, and the person most afraid of our growth is ourselves.
- Throughout the season of growth, there is also pain, growing pains. Pain, if we let it, can make us lose our perspective and purpose.
- We cannot address someone´s sin until we have also seen their pain.
