How Do I Grow as a Christian?

When you put your faith in Jesus, God begins a lifelong work of transforming you. The Bible urges you to “grow” in many ways, to pursue transformation, confident that God is at work behind the scenes empowering you to change. This growth process is called “sanctification” in the Bible, and it’s a word that means “to be made holy.” God aims to make you look more like Jesus and for your relationship with Jesus to deepen, such that Jesus’ glory shines through every area of your life.

The Bible is one story told in two parts: the Old and New Testament. The story of the Bible happens in four acts—creation, fall, redemption, and restoration—and is told over the course of 66 books.

The Resurrection of Jesus

Did Jesus really rise from the dead? If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, the Bible says any faith in the God of the Bible is meaningless. Those are high stakes! But if the resurrection of Jesus is real? All of life changes. These resources don't primarily argue for the resurrection, although we do provide evidence, but they tell you why it matters, and why it changes everything.

Do You Need a Good Laugh?

Laughter is one of the natural comforts God has given to us in our pain. In tough times, we may especially need to remember to laugh. Although Scripture teaches about our diverse spiritual needs, it also tells us that we are physical beings belonging to the natural world. God’s graces permeate our ordinary experience. One of those graces to us in pain is a good laugh. We hope this page says one thing to you: Remember to laugh, even in seasons of great pain. And when you desperately need a dose of laughter, ask God for it.
