“Time Doesn't Equal Transformation” cuts through one of the most pervasive myths in our spiritual journeys — that simply getting older means we're growing more spiritually mature. Sorry, but nope!

Time doesn’t automatically grow your soul, but grace-filled participation does. In this punchy episode of Today’s Kus Word, we’re busting the myth that spiritual maturity just happens with the passing of time. Spoiler: you could have 85 trips around the sun and still be a spiritual toddler if you're not intentionally leaning into growth. Gray hair doesn't equal wisdom — and another Bible study doesn’t guarantee transformation.

In this episode, Michele walks you through why time is only a container for growth — and how purposeful, present participation with the Holy Spirit is what actually matures you. We’ll get honest about where we’ve been passive and reflect on a few questions to engage your spiritual formation this week. Ready for a reset? Dive in, get inspired, and shoot Michele a text (link’s in the show notes!) to let her know how these micro-episodes are hitting your heart!

Today’s Reflection Questions:

• • In what areas of my life have I assumed that time would do the work for me?
  • Where in my life have I been passively waiting for growth to just happen?
  • What’s one simple way that I can participate with the Holy Spirit this week in my own spiritual growth?
