Small Changes or Big Leaps? Rethinking How Spiritual Formation Takes Place

We live in a world addicted to instant gratification. We all want instant change, instant productivity, and instant transformation. But Christian growth rarely works that way. It’s slower, quieter, and far more ordinary, and found in establishing God-honouring habits through acts of faithfulness in everyday life.

Jonathan and Laurie reflect on the difference between dramatic decisions and quiet consistency, sharing stories from conferences, ministry life, reading, housework, Bible memory, and spiritual disciplines. They explore why Christians often crave the big moment, how to set big goals without despising small steps, and why the Bible’s pattern for growth is usually slow, steady formation rather than sudden changes. If you're trying to grow in your faith walk, hopefully you find encouragement in following Jesus one paragraph, one prayer, or even one dishwasher load at a time.
