The Growing Together podcast continues to roll. This week we celebrate our 150th episode as we expand our series on spiritual growth! Join Nic & Dale as they discuss what is perhaps the most important step in the process. You have found the right location and have prepared the soil well, now it's time to plant your seed.

Dale is convinced his seed represents positive affirmation and self-worth; the realization that how you value yourself is rooted in God's wisdom and guidance, not on the superficial things we value in our early years. Only the love of God can supply the growth necessary to transform the young self into a mature, productive adult capable of being an example for God's kingdom. When others can see your light shine, it's because you have planted your seed well and have produced something pure and inspiring. There's no shame that Dale cannot dunk a basketball, he's an all-star in God's kingdom.

Nic believes his seed is that abiding faith one must possess that passes all other understanding in this topsy-turvy world we feel trapped in. Fellowship is key, the word is truly essential, but faith is absolute. Submitting to God's will is a by-product of understanding his word and applying it to our lives even in those times when we don't understand. Faith is what makes that relationship a two-way street and lets God know you are truly invested in what he is trying to convey. Faith holds strong when the storm is doing its worst to uproot everything you have worked so hard to create.

This week's episode just might provoke some second-guessing; it may challenge you to look within yourself. Is your relationship with God just a casual exchange when you need something to happen? Do you only consider God when other people talk about him? Are you satisfied to admire other people's work while your garden lives only in your own mind? Do other people see Jesus in your smile? So many questions deserve appropriate answers. God is waiting for you to plant that seed, for he is the vine and we are the branches!
