There is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

We have favorite seasons of nature, but what about spiritual seasons?

You might have a favorite spiritual season, but you cannot live in it every moment of your life. You can choose to sit and pout about it, or you can use the time given to you, learning the lessons and growing the way God purposes. Every season combines with other seasons to complete a person’s life and purpose on earth. Growth is only possible because of the combination of seasons.

We think we can handle our experiences—past, present, and future—but we are vastly limited. Every season holds blessings for us. In order to fully experience each blessing, we must choose to set aside what we think and want, inviting God to consume us. He intends for us to fully embrace the experiences of each season so we can continually grow in faith.

Pure Growth is a 60-day journey through spiritual seasons. Take the journey on your own, or gather some friends and study alongside each other. You’ll be encouraged and challenged. Get ready for changes!
