The Myth of Automatic Growth

  • Summary

  • Text Michele

    “Time doesn’t equal transformation.” Just because you’ve been near the truth, even for years, doesn’t mean it’s been formed in you. In this kickoff episode of her Rule of Life series, Michele Kus exposes the myth that more time passing and more Bible studies and more sermons and more books automatically lead to spiritual growth. With wisdom drawn from her seminary course (a work in progress!), Michele explores why so many of us feel stuck — despite being steeped in endless Christian content — and how we can finally break through and make real progress in our spiritual journeys. It’s simpler than you might think!

    If you’ve been consuming without actually being changed, this episode is your wake-up call. Michele walks you through how to reflect on the actual rhythms that are shaping your soul right now — on purpose or by accident — and invites you to create sacred space for real, grace-based growth. Plus, she shares a simple 10-minute practice you can try this week to start shifting from information consumption to intentional transformation. Don’t miss it!
