From Stuck to Unstoppable: Your Self-Awareness Growth Blueprint

No matter where you start, what matters is who you grow to become.

In this episode, Russ Ewell and Mike Query help us embrace a mindset of spiritual growth rather than of perfection or survival. By highlighting how Jesus grew into God’s purpose, this episode shows us that as we embrace life skills like spiritual self-awareness, we can grow into our purpose, too.

This breakout clip from our episode, “Why Spiritual Self-Awareness is the First Step to a Deeper Relationship with God,” challenges listeners to embrace a growth mindset by developing spiritual self-awareness. It also teaches us to believe in the power of God that works within us, helping us grow to become who we are meant to be.
