In this episode, Steve Wood dives into the first stage of Christian maturity, guided by 1 John 2:12–14. Discover why spiritual growth begins with a deep, unshakable belief that your sins are forgiven—not because of your goodness, but because of Christ’s sacrifice. Steve unpacks how St. John categorizes believers as "children," "young men," and "fathers"—not by age, but by spiritual maturity—and explains why some Christians remain spiritual infants even after years of churchgoing. You'll learn how experiencing God’s love through the Holy Spirit is key to real transformation—not just religious routine.
