Jesus is Leading

Your transformation into the image of Christ begins with a renewed mind. In Part 1 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah explains how aligning your thoughts with God’s truth is key to walking in His will and experiencing lasting spiritual change. Drawing from Romans 12:1-2, he reveals how the Holy Spirit works through a renewed mindset to bring internal and external transformation. Discover how mindset renewal can unl...

In Part 2 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah dives deep into exploring the true cost of following Jesus. What does it mean to deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and fully surrender to Christ? Josiah breaks down the idea that you are the price to be paid—not in a burdensome way, but as a liberating process of laying down your own will to become more like Christ. Guided by the Holy Spirit, this episode challeng...

In Part 3 of the Growing into the Image of God series, Josiah unpacks 2 Corinthians 5:17 and challenges the common misconception that being a Christian is about being a “good person.” The true standard for Christianity isn’t goodness—it’s Christlikeness. You are not just called to be kind, generous, or moral, but to be in Christ—to live, think, and move as He does. This episode explores the true transformation that happens when you...

In Part 4 of the Growing into the Image of God series, Josiah dives into Philippians 2:5-8 to unpack the true definition of humility. Many believe humility is about low self-esteem or weakness, but true humility is modeled after Christ’s example—acknowledging that while you are valuable, you are not more important than anyone else. This episode challenges you to see humility as the gateway to God’s presence and transformation. With...

What does it truly mean to love others? In Part 5 of the Growing into the Image of God series, Josiah unpacks Ephesians 5:1-2 and the difference between giving as an act of love versus giving as a product of love. Our love for people shouldn’t be based on fleeting emotions but should be modeled after Christ’s love for us. True love is not just about what we do—it’s about the heart behind it. Tune in to discover how to become a stud...

In Part 6 of the Growing into the Image of God series, Josiah dives into Colossians 3:12-14 to uncover the deeper roots of true forgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t just about saying “I forgive you”—it’s a product of love, built on the foundation of forbearance. God, in His wisdom, created a system that makes room for human error, repeated mistakes, and yet still offers grace. When you understand forbearance, forgiveness becomes less abo...

In Part 7 of the Growing into the Image of God series, Josiah walks through Galatians 5:22-24 to remind us that the fruit of the Spirit isn’t optional—it’s the visible evidence of a life surrendered to Christ. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control aren’t just character traits—they are boundaries that shape how we reflect God. If you claim to live by the Spirit, but don’t walk in ...

In Part 8 of the Growing into the Image of God series, Josiah breaks down 1 Peter 1:15-16 to reclaim the true meaning of holiness. Too often, holiness is reduced to avoiding sexual sin—but that’s only a fraction of the picture. Holiness, in its purest form, is the nature of God—a divine separation that defines His uniqueness, not His distance. To be holy is to be set apart unto God and to reflect His character in every area of your...

In Part 9 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah teaches on John 17:17 and the powerful connection between sanctification and truth. Sanctification isn’t just a spiritual upgrade—it’s the process by which God prepares you to reflect His image. And without the Word, that process doesn’t begin. The Word of God is the tool that cleanses, separates, and transforms. A man who is not sanctified cannot carry God well, and a m...

In Part 10 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah explores Luke 5:15-16 to highlight the essential relationship between prayer and power. Whether you’re praying with others or withdrawing to be alone with God, both are vital. Corporate prayer sharpens you, but it’s in private prayer that you’re preserved and fueled. As your influence grows, your prayer life must grow deeper. A Christian without prayer is a Christian wi...

In Part 11 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah unpacks Galatians 5:16-18 to explain the real power behind walking in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit isn’t just a spiritual practice—it’s the way you overcome the flesh and reflect the image of Christ. If you struggle with sinful habits or find it hard to resist temptation, it might be because you’re not fully walking in the Spirit. Discover what it means to be led b...

In Part 12 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah unpacks Acts 1:8 to clarify a misunderstood truth: power is not first for performance—it’s for transformation. The first evidence of receiving power isn’t in casting out demons, but in becoming a true witness of Christ. God’s power meets you at your point of weakness to make you more like Jesus, not to make you impressive. If the image of Christ is what we’re called to ...

In Part 13 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah teaches from James 1:12 to show that fleeing temptation is about more than just running—it’s about becoming. Temptation reveals whether you’re chasing comfort or choosing to look like Christ. The power to endure isn’t found in willpower but in identity, the Word, and a desire to please God. Endurance produces evidence, and that evidence is a life that honors God—especia...

In Part 14 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah teaches from Psalm 1:2-3 to reveal a core truth: before you can receive from God, you must become like Him. The secret to becoming is delighting in His Word—not casually reading it, but finding joy and identity in it. You can’t reflect the image of God without a personal relationship with Him, and you can’t produce His results without becoming His image. If you’ve been ...

In Part 16 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah draws from Proverbs 27:17 and Psalm 1:1 to explore how relationships influence your identity in Christ. Who you relate with in a season shapes who you represent in that season. You’re either being sharpened into the image of God—or slowly compromised. But reflecting Christ isn’t about isolation from the lost; it’s about standing firm in your identity and carrying His li...

In Part 17 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah teaches from Matthew 5:44 and Proverbs 25:21-22 (NIV) to explain a foundational truth: if God is love and you are His image, then you don’t just love—you are love. Real love isn’t measured by reciprocation but by identity. When you withhold love because someone didn’t return it, you’ve already stepped outside of your assignment. The believer’s nature as love is not only...

In Part 18 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah unpacks Genesis 5:24 and Matthew 7:22-23 to challenge the idea that working for God is the same as walking with Him. Enoch’s story shows us what happens when your walk with God becomes your identity. Eventually, your life stops being about you—and starts fully expressing Him. Any man who cannot be taken by God is not His image. This episode calls you deeper into intimac...

In Part 19 of the Growing Into the Image of God series, Josiah teaches from Genesis 1:26–28 and Matthew 28:18–20 to emphasize that the evidence of being made in God’s image is not just character—it’s fruitfulness and dominion. To reflect God is to multiply what He gives you and advance His kingdom with it. Whether it’s souls, gifts, or influence, true image-bearers don’t just hold fruit—they reproduce it. This episode challenges yo...
