Summary
Most people do not walk away from the faith… they just never grow into it.
In this episode, we break down 1 Corinthians 3 and expose the uncomfortable truth about spiritual immaturity. Paul is not talking to outsiders, he is talking to believers who are still driven by jealousy, division, and personality worship. Sound familiar?
This is a direct call to grow up.
