Here’s a scary truth….
You may be chronologically 35 or 55 or 75 years old, but still be an emotional and spiritual child.
Or as one person put it…”I had been following Jesus for 22 years. But in reality, I was a one-year-old Christian 22 times.”
This was my story for too many years. I was an emotional infant who was stuck. I was leading a church while my marriage and family were suffering. By God’s grace, I realized that something needed to change.
The truth is – emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable. It is impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.
What about you? Are you an emotional infant, child, adolescent, or adult?
In today’s podcast episode I bring the last of a multi-week podcast series in which we explore the seminal work from Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. If you are a pastor, leader, or listener and you want to start the journey toward emotional and spiritual health, this series is a must-listen.
If you missed the first episode on The Problem of Emotionally Unhealthy Spirituality, you can listen to it here.
