Am I Growing?

Podcast Tuesday! All kinds of fun stories for you, like how I'm a high maintenance sleeper, my accidental meeting with Don Piper, and other conference miscellany. Enjoy!! :)

Listen here

Also in the podcast, I shared a couple of things that I learned from Don Piper's talks. Really powerful lessons that I appreciated and felt challenged by. 

But today I wanted to tell you about another thing I learned that was really challenging to me.

I was sitting in a workshop about the different kinds of publishing that exist (self, custom, and traditional) and the presenter said that regardless of the path you take, you should always ask yourself this question: am I growing?

I'm pretty sure she meant in terms of growing as an author and growing in platform, but as I look back on that session and that question, I'm convicted.

Am I growing?

Am I growing in Christ? Am I growing in my passions? Am I growing in skills? Am I growing in creativity? Am I growing in ministry? 

Am I growing in _________________? (Fill in your own blank there.)

One of the things I loved about the chance to go to a conference was the chance to learn. I am always trying to learn, but that was a three day intensive in gulping knowledge. It was a reminder that I have so much to absorb, and if I ever become stagnant, I'm doing a disservice to myself and my future.

And that's not just a thing for writers and speakers.

That's a thing for people. 

So it's a good question for you, too! Are you growing? In whatever way(s) you can think of, are you growing?
