In “Growing in God,” Pastor Wes reflects on Luke 2:41-52, where Jesus, at age 12, stays behind in the temple. He explores the importance of rituals, routines, and rhythms, like those in Mary, Joseph, and Jesus’ faithful journey to Jerusalem, as scaffolding for our spiritual growth. Pastor Wes encourages us to reflect on what we’ve lost, where we are curious, and how we can grow in wisdom, Divine favor, and connection with one another in the new year. He challenges us to be intentional about tending our relationship with God and others, embodying faithfulness by growing in God’s image for the sake of the world.
