Quick takeaways

  • There are three levels of faith: quid pro quo, faith of desperation, and faith of surrender, each with its own characteristics and challenges.
  • Maturity in faith involves actively exercising our faith muscle through practices like gratitude and being surrounded by people of faith, as well as going through tests and trials that challenge our beliefs and provide growth opportunities.

Deep dives

Level one of faith: The faith of religion

The initial level of faith is based on the belief in quid pro quo, where we expect God to fulfill our desires in exchange for our obedience. This level is not inherently bad, as it involves living in alignment with God's wisdom and good intentions. However, relying solely on this level of faith can lead to disappointment when our desired outcomes are not met. It is important to recognize the limitations of this level and be willing to move beyond it.
