"Authentic" Pt. 2 - Growing Up

Is your faith authentic, or are you just a really good actor? It’s a question that keeps many of us up at night, especially when our "perfect" Christian walk starts to look a little more like a clumsy stumble in the dark. In part two of our Authentic series, we’re diving into the first half of 1 John 2 to tackle the "Perfection Trap." We often think that to avoid being a hypocrite, we have to be flawless. But the truth is much more liberating: Progression, not perfection, is what authenticates our faith. If you’ve ever felt like giving up because you can't seem to get past the things that trip you up, this message is for you. We explore the three stages of spiritual maturity—Children, Young Men, and Fathers—and discover that while it's okay to start as a child, we weren't meant to stay there forever. Join us as we learn how to find the middle ground between striving for the light and finding grace for the journey.
