Most Christians already know far more Scripture than they're putting into practice.

We know we're supposed to forgive. We know we're supposed to trust God. We know we're supposed to love difficult people.

The challenge often isn't learning something new—it's applying what we already know.

In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw talks about the difference between hearing God's Word and living it, and why spiritual growth isn't measured by information alone.
