What if the key to spiritual transformation lies not in our circumstances but in our responses to God?
In this episode of PREPPED, join James Spencer, PhD, on an exploration of the power of response as a spiritual discipline. Through biblical narratives like the creation story, the call of Moses, and the fall of Jericho, we see that it is God who initiates—and it is our faithful response that leads to transformation.
From Jesus' perfect and ultimate obedience to small, Spirit-led acts of everyday faithfulness, this episode examines how we align our hearts with God's story in a world that constantly pulls us away from it. Alongside biblical insights, Dr. Spencer shares personal reflections—including a story of quiet service to someone in need—that highlight how intention, humility, and trust in God shape our spiritual growth.
