Spiritual Drift - Doug's Story

Spiritual drift is a real possibility for any one of us. Our faith becomes second nature. Then routine. Then blah. And then ...

Apathy creeps in, slowly but persistently until we find ourselves distant and disconnected from God. 

In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast, I share the story of a regular listener who grew up going to church, was saved at 11, and never didn't consider himself a Christian. 

But spiritual drift slowly moved him away from God. 

He shares what caused the drift for him and what brought the drift to an end.

Why does it seem like the Spirit fails to transform some people? 

In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast, we think through a question sent in by a listener who asked, why does it seem like the Spirit fails to transform some people? We explore:

the tension of the already-not yet

our need to partner with the Spirit

the importance of recognizing that we all start at different places 

the failure of the Church in the way we preach the gospel and teach about the Spirit

Set Your Mind on the Things of the Spirit | Life in the Spirit, pt. 6  

One of the keys to life in the Spirit is what we allow to fill and occupy our minds. The apostle Paul writes, "For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God." (Romans 8:5-8).

The Lord's Supper and the Last Supper 

Christians of all kinds regularly celebrate the Lord's Supper or Communion or the Eucharist. Jesus instituted this commemorative meal during what has come to be known as the Last Supper, a Passover meal He celebrated with his disciples the night before his crucifixion. In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast, we look at the original setting and historical background to the Lord's Supper which deepens its meaning and our experience of it.
