Summary

What does true character look like when no one's watching? John and Lisa tackle this crucial question, sharing how private integrity shapes public impact. Through personal stories of painful growth seasons and spiritual testing, they reveal how God uses trials to develop Christ-like character—not through comfort, but through challenges that expose what's really in our hearts. Whether you're facing difficult seasons or seeking deeper spiritual maturity, this powerful message offers hope and practical wisdom for allowing God to build lasting character from the inside out. Don't miss this timely teaching on becoming who God created you to be. _____________________________________________ FREE Show Notes Here: https://page.church.tech/8b878364 _____________________________________________ Click here to start your free extended trial with LOGOS today: Logos.com/Bevere ____________________________________________ Get John’s new book, The King is Coming, here: https://www.amazon.com/King-Coming-Prepare-Return-Christ/dp/1400349672/ref= ____________________________________________ Our generous listeners who faithfully support this content monthly make Conversations with John and Lisa possible.
