#022: Why It's Hard To Be Authentic

This week on The Journey, we explored the challenges and importance of having authentic spiritual conversations with fellow believers. Why do these conversations often feel unnatural in our culture and how we can intentionally cultivate deeper spiritual relationships?

The implications for your spiritual life are significant - by overcoming your hesitation and engaging in more meaningful conversations, you can strengthen your own walk with Christ and encourage others in their Journey.

Takeaways:

Intentionality is key: Set aside specific times to have spiritual conversations with trusted friends or family members.

Vulnerability breeds authenticity: Be willing to share your own struggles and questions to create a safe space for others to do the same.

Practice makes progress: Like tending a garden, developing deep spiritual relationships takes time and consistent effort.

We encourage you to consider who God has placed in your life that you could engage in more intentional spiritual conversations with!
