At some point in our walk with God, we all ask it:
“How do I grow spiritually?”

It’s not just about knowing more—it’s about becoming more. Becoming more like Jesus. More in tune with the Holy Spirit. More confident in your identity. More responsive to God’s voice in everyday life.

But spiritual growth can feel mysterious.
Where do we start?
What do we focus on?
And how do we know we’re not just checking boxes?

Spiritual Growth Is About Relationship, Not Rules

At Forerunner Ministries, we believe that spiritual growth is first and foremost about intimacy with God. Growth doesn’t happen because we strive harder—it happens because we step closer. The deeper our relationship with Him, the more we’re changed from the inside out.

That’s why we invite people into experiential relationship with God—through teaching, activation, and prophetic encounters that are grounded in Scripture and led by the Spirit.

Start With Three Anchors

If you’re wondering where to begin, here are three foundational steps:

1. Pursue God’s Presence
   Make space in your day to be with Him. That could be quiet reflection, worship, prayer, journaling—or even just going for a walk and talking with Him like a friend.

2. Listen for His Voice
   God speaks more often than we realize. Our role is to learn to recognize His voice, and that takes practice. (If this is new to you, start with our free course: God Encounters.)

3. Apply What He Shows You
   Growth isn’t about what we know—it’s about what we do with what we’ve received. Every small step of obedience builds spiritual maturity and trust.
