A Story of Growing Everyday With Jesus
During the Grow series at NewSpring Church, we’re learning how to abide in Jesus and step into the next season of spiritual growth. 🌱 Each week, we’ve been exploring what it looks like to be cultivated by God and to grow in our everyday relationship with Him. Last week, Pastor Brad Cooper shared practical ways we can commit to being cultivated—one of the most powerful being biblical community and discipleship. Today, we’re encouraged by the testimony of John, a member of our church who said yes to being discipled a few years ago. In this video, John shares how God has used discipleship and community to grow him spiritually and deepen his walk with Jesus. If you’re wondering what spiritual growth looks like in real life, this testimony is for you. 📖 Whether you’re new to faith or looking to take your next step, we pray this story encourages you to say yes to growth. #GrowSeries #SpiritualGrowth #AbideInJesus #ChristianTestimony #Discipleship #BiblicalCommunity #FaithJourney #ChristianYouTube #ChurchOnline #FollowingJesus
