Episode 3: 12 Reasons Why Christians Need Personal Development

How personal growth complements your faith

 

If you've been in Church for a while or your whole life, you were probably exhorted to grow in your relationship with God through Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. While this is an excellent way to grow your faith and establish a good relationship with God, it can lead to some disillusionment and frustration for the Christian Entrepreneur.

 

We are spiritual beings, housed in a flesh body, made in the image of God, who have work to accomplish here on earth. That said, we need to understand that to accomplish the best work possible, we need to become all that we can be. And for that, we need more than just spiritual growth - we need personal growth. As Christian Entrepreneurs, we need to come to terms with this fact - or fail, and blame God in the process.
