I like to consider it as 'total conversion of life', a process that for me is deeply rooted in 2 Cor 3:18: And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. The Lord be with you. This is great stuff. I like to consider it as ‘total conversion of life’, a process that for me is deeply rooted in 2 Cor 3:18:

And I love it. I'm challenged to grow (not simply change) because of my relationship with Jesus. And it starts with trusting Him. Thanks for wise words Jonathan. Radical Discipleship is a living out of our faith ... being changed by Him (rather than ourselves ) and from that relationship with HIm becoming more and more missional in all that we do - it's an exciting life we live as followers of Jesus :) This so fits in with where I am right now that it’s uncanny.

I was so incredibly tired of "trying one more thing." It gets exhausting to keep running down those different rabbit trails. I had never thought of the contrast between change and growth, but it's huge. Lots to chew on here, thanks. So well said, Jonathon.
