Episode notes
Expect Hidden Growth After Sharing The Gospel
- Don't expect immediate visible fruit after sharing the gospel; spiritual growth often starts unseen like planted seeds.
- Paul Tripp uses a vegetable-garden illustration to warn against impatience when witnessing no immediate change.
Solitary Scripture Reading Built Deep Devotion
- Rechab's hunger after conversion led him to read the Bible straight through starting in Genesis.
- That solitary devotion produced deep intimacy with Scripture despite lack of formal discipling in his teens.
Run Toward Conviction Not From It
- Welcome and run toward conviction of sin because it's a sign of God's presence, not condemnation.
- Paul Tripp compares conviction to a father gently correcting his son to rescue and restore him.
