Greg Boyd introduces the incredible reality that God’s Word has been planted within us like a seed. He explains what this Word is and how we can create an environment that will make space for it to grow. This truth lays out what God desires for our lives and how we can allow it to develop organically.

Greg Boyd explains the meaning of faith and how it relates to doubt, and dismantles the idea that faith means certainty. Greg then connects our faith to trusting God so that we receive divine wisdom, the kind of wisdom that reflects the revelation of the cross.

Cedrick Baker takes us through the biblical invitation to character development. He demonstrates how God uses our trials and struggles to strengthen our faith, and he provides practical ways that we can agree with God’s character-development work.

What does it mean to seek wisdom? Dan Kent answers this question by contrasting wisdom with double-mindedness. James’ letter says that those who are double-minded are tossed by the wind. They are pulled down two diverging paths. Dan connects James’ instruction with the “two-ways tradition” and shows us what it means to walk in the way of wisdom.

Shawna Boren addresses how the testing of our faith leads to perseverance, and then she shows us how the work of perseverance produces transformation. Perseverance is a key component to growing up in our faith and communing with God, and thus knowing him.
