does real Christian growth look like? Not the Instagram-perfect version, but the messy, challenging reality that shapes authentic faith. In this compelling episode of Navigate, hosts Justin and Tim dig into what they call "the Christian process" – the cycle of growth every believer experiences.

Faith isn't about having all the right answers or maintaining a comfortable spiritual status quo. Instead, it's about taking your armor off to fight battles in ways that feel counterintuitive but ultimately lead to growth. As the hosts powerfully assert, "the opposite of comfort is not discomfort – the opposite of comfort is life." Just as a flatline on a heart monitor indicates death, a Christianity without challenges and growth indicates spiritual stagnation.

The conversation explores how we often approach our faith journey like spectators rather than participants. Many Christians wear the badge and speak the language without doing the difficult work of following Jesus. This approach might work temporarily, but becomes exhausting over time. True faith requires continuous confession, repentance, acknowledgment, obedience, hope, and renewed faith – a cycle that repeats throughout our lives.
