Show Notes
Guiding Quote
The real Son of God is at your side. He is beginning to turn you into the same kind of thing as Himself. He is beginning, so to speak, to "inject" His kind of life and thought into you; beginning to turn the tin soldier into a live man. The part of you that does not like it is the part that is still tin. - CS Lewis, Mere Christianity
Key Points
Why Maturity comes after Security in the order of healing
The true purpose of healing is to help us love well, rather than to make life easier
We find ourselves when we make a gift of ourselves, and this sacrifice requires maturity
False maturity can come from woundedness. We want to mature past the false self into our true selves.
Jake breaks open the analogy of Jesus’s yoke which helps us understand submission to Christ as a path to maturity
Jake and Bob each share from their stories about their personal journeys to maturity
Practical Application
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 on Security, go back and begin with that as the foundational episode of the series.
Consider the analogy of the yoke. How might your frustrations in the Christian life or healing journey point toward an area of your life in need of maturity?
Pray for Godly mentors (or ask someone you know for wisdom and guidance) who can help you mature in areas of false maturity.
