Speak the truth in love. Do that, and guess what happens?
You might not grow a big church.
You might not grow a huge following.
You might not grow a stadium of fans.
But you and the people you lead will grow . . . up.
“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” (Ephesians 4:15, ESV)
As editorial director, my favorite thing about RENEW.org Network is that it’s a network. This isn’t a handful of experts unloading knowledge on a bunch of followers. Rather, we’re an entire network of disciples daily encouraging each other. By speaking the truth in love, we help each other grow up into maturity. I’ve got a front row seat as I’m daily encouraged by the wisdom in this network.
Here are some of the ways the RENEW.org Network has encouraged each other, speaking truth in love, over 2025.
