How to Grow in Christ | New Believers Podcast Ep. 3 | Freewater Church

In Episode 3 of the New Believers Podcast, Pastor Randy and Pastor Stan walk through what it really looks like to grow after you’ve given your life to Jesus. Salvation is just the beginning — growth happens as the Holy Spirit works in us, creating new desires, new habits, and a deeper love for God.

This episode focuses on practical “checkups” for every believer: telling others about Jesus, obeying God’s Word, water baptism, guarding your life from spiritual traps, and developing a real relationship with Christ instead of a ritual.

You’ll also hear why obedience is not about pressure, but about desire — and how the Holy Spirit gives us the appetite to live differently.

📖 Scriptures read in this episode include 1 John, Ephesians 2, and Psalm 119.
