      E310 Why Confession is So Important For Your Spiritual Growth

      January 31, 2023

      Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar from the Saddleback Spiritual Growth team are joined by Saddleback Celebrate Recovery’s Meaghan Grider to talk about everyone’s favorite topic: confession. Many people are raised to believe in the rigid responsibility of confession, or approach the idea with a lot of fear and trepidation. Meaghan breaks down why confession is one of the most powerful spiritual practices and one that can lead to a life of joy and fullness. The conversation looks at what the Bible says about confession, how confession is a relational exercise between us and God and us and others, and the importance of finding the right people to have a confession relationship with. The episode ends with an explanation of Celebrate Recovery and the importance of remembering your true identity. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by the Saddleback Spiritual Growth Team. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 300 episodes. Episodes release every Tue

      Discover Your Purpose 2 - How to Grow

      Life wasn't meant to be lived standing still. We should always be moving, learning, and growing as people and as followers of Jesus. But it can be easy to get stuck in a rut. It's not that you're unwilling to grow — maybe you just aren't sure where to start or what to do next. But it could be as simple as establishing a few key habits in your life to get you on the right track.

      Discover Your Purpose 2 - How to Grow is designed to teach you about these simple habits, and show you the different steps you can take to mature and grow as a Christian.

      Next Steps

      Foundations

      Rooted and grounded in God's Word. Feet firmly planted on the truth. Confident in what we believe, why we believe it and, most importantly, why it matters. This is something that many of us want in our lives. Foundations, taught by Pastor Tom Holladay and other Saddleback teachers, is a step by step approach to understanding the essentials of what it means to be a follower of Christ.

      Tithing

      The word "tithe" literally means “tenth" or 10%. Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, isn't merely giving something to God. It's giving back what was his to begin with. All that we have, or hope to have, comes from him. The Bible says that tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. It teaches us to always put God first in our lives.

      Small Groups

      Life is not meant to be lived alone. In fact, God hates loneliness. You were created to experience life with other people, and that's why at Saddleback, we encourage you to get into a small group. A small group is a group of three or more people who gather each week in a home, workplace, or online. In a group you'll hang out, study the Word, and pray together. No matter where you are in life, there's a group for you.
