BENJI Good morning! I’m Benji Riddle – Director of Youth Ministry at Central United Methodist. I want to get into better shape, and anyone who has made the same choice knows that it is not something that happens overnight. The same can be said of our spiritual strength. Working out and spiritual growth have some principles in common. As you dig into Bible study, Christian fellowship, you will see (I’m sorry to tell you) that there’s no 30-minutes-or-less, just-add-water routine for growing deeper in Christ. You may love fast food for its convenience, but there’s no such thing as a quick diet of Jesus. I know some people who have fast food faith, but typically their faith doesn’t last or make a difference in the world. If you’re going to grow and be a follower of Jesus, you’ll have to invest time and discipline. Spiritual growth requires something from you. But know this also, it is so worth it!
