00:30Hey family, welcome back to John, 146 FM, your spiritual radio.
00:43I'm your host, Michael Fortune, and today, we'll dive into the first part of a powerful
00:49series titled, Balancing Spiritual Growth with Skill Development.
00:53We'll be having four parts for this series, and the title for the first series is called
00:59Skill Up, Stay Grounded, that is, thriving in life without losing your fates.
01:05Now let's talk about something real.
01:24How do you keep growing in your skills, professionally, creatively, even academically, while staying
01:31grounded in your work with God?
01:33In today's world, there's a heavy push-up to skill up, new courses, new tech, new hostels.
01:41And don't get me wrong, it's a blessing to be able to grow, to learn, to add value.
01:46But in all that moment and momentum, have you ever paused and asked, am I still growing spiritually
01:52or am I just getting busy?
01:55The truth is, we can grow in skills and strength in spirit if we are not careful.
02:00God is not anti-growth.
02:02In fact, look at the parable of the talents in Matthew 25.
02:06The servant who multiplied his talents was praised.
02:10God loves when we develop what he has placed in our hands.
02:13But what he doesn't want is for the gifts to overshadow the giver.
02:17It's not just about success.
02:19It's about staying rooted while you rise.
02:21So how do you thrive without drifting?
02:25Number one, start your day in the spirit.
02:28Not just on Sundays.
02:29Set the tone with prayer, scripture and worship.
02:33Number two, integrate.
02:35Don't separate.
02:36Let your work and your worship coexist.
02:39Bring God into your learning and creativity.
02:42And three, guard your motives.
02:44Are you building for purpose or just performance?
02:46Is this growth aligned with your calling or feeding your ego?
02:50I know a brother who is now a certified tech consultant.
02:53But he said one thing never changed.
02:55Before every project or meeting, he would whisper a prayer.
02:58That kept him grounded.
03:00Even when the checks came, his foundation stayed in Christ.
03:03Remember, the moment your skill starts leading your spirit,
03:07it becomes a risk instead of a resource.
03:10So here's the takeaway for today.
03:12Skill up.
03:13Yes, but stay grounded in God.
03:16Don't lose your fire while chasing the future.
03:18Thriving isn't just about progress.
03:21It's about peace in the process.
03:23Catch me in the next episode where we'll be talking about grace and grind.
03:27Leveling up without losing God.
03:29Until then, stay sharp.
03:31Stay faithful.
03:32Stay grounded.
03:33And stay tuned to John 14, 6 FM, your spiritual radio.
03:37God bless you.
03:37I did skill up, but I know they lose my way.
03:42Grace, they guide me every single day.
03:46I did hustle, but I don't forget to pray.
