This week on 2414, Shane Welter and Vicar Dave Gallagher continue the conversation through St. Luke's 1-2-3 Challenge by focusing on Grow: In the Word.

What does it mean to grow as a disciple of Jesus? How do Christians develop habits of hearing, reading, learning, and inwardly digesting God's Word? And why does Scripture remain central to the Christian life?

Drawing from the 1-2-3 Challenge resource, Shane and Vicar Dave discuss practical first steps, next steps, and challenge steps for spending time in God's Word. Whether you're brand new to reading the Bible or have spent decades studying Scripture, this episode offers encouragement to take the next faithful step.

Topics include:
• Why God's Word is essential for Christian growth
• Building sustainable Bible reading habits
• First Steps, Next Steps, and Challenge Steps
• Scripture memorization and meditation
• Learning to engage the Bible consistently
• Encouragement for new and seasoned Christians alike
• Growing in faith through God's promises

The 1-2-3 Challenge invites every person at St. Luke's to take two intentional steps in each of three discipleship areas:

Gather. Grow. Go.
