Today on Summit Life, Pastor JD Greer talks about spiritual maturity.

You're here because we have good music.

There's a lot of young, good-looking people around you.

It seems like a cool place to be.

It's like going to the Church of the Gap or Abercrombie in Fitch.

And it's just like, hey, you know, this is a great place to be.

But what happens is that's not real.

The circumstances change and you don't have a lot of anchor to your faith.

We got a lot of people in here who are gullible.

Welcome back to Summit Life with Pastor JD Greer.

I'm your host, Molly Vitavitch.

Believe me when I tell you, it takes a lot of work to keep a newborn healthy.

Parents, am I right?

From the midnight feedings to carefully buckled car seats,

it all makes for a whole lot of craziness.

And as cute as they are, it's a bit of relief when they get old enough

to manage some of those tasks on their own.

And believe it or not, that's a great analogy for our spiritual lives too.

We are called to spiritually grow up.

But so many of us prefer staying a baby, having others deal with all of our spiritual needs.

Today, Pastor JD shows us what it looks like to mature in our faith.

It's part of our teaching series in First Peter called I Am an Alien.
