Warriors of the Word: Christian Growth in a Distracted World

What does it actually mean to learn Christ?

In a world flooded with information, content, and constant noise, many Christians are consuming more than ever, but growing less.

In this episode, I sit down with Colin Marsh to unpack what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. We talk about the reality of cultural “discipleship,” why many believers feel stuck, and how to pursue real spiritual maturity, not just more knowledge, but transformed lives.

This is a practical and theological conversation about learning, doctrine, discipleship, and what it looks like to grow in Christ in today’s world.
