What are you feeding your soul?
In this message, we dig into one of the most overlooked parts of spiritual health – nourishment. It’s easy to talk about being rooted, but even healthy roots need something to draw from. You can’t grow without feeding on truth. And if you’re not intentionally drawing from God’s Word, your thoughts, emotions, and decisions will start being shaped by something else. So how do we stop grazing on spiritual snacks and start feeding our lives with lasting nourishment?
This week’s message is part three of our Grounded: Roots Before Fruit series – and it’s all about what it means to be fed by the Word. The Bible doesn’t just encourage you – it renews your mind, grows your faith, steadies your heart, and gives direction for real life.
If you missed the live service or want to reflect further, you can watch the full message above anytime after. We’ve also included discussion questions to dig deeper into the message and a handout with fill-ins to guide your reflection. You can find the handout by clicking the “Download” button above. Whether you watch this on your own or share it with your small group, we hope this message encourages you.
