Steve Childers is President of Global Church Advancement, an international ministry that provides training, consultations, and resources for church planters, pastors and missionaries throughout the world. Here’s a great article he wrote which unpacks how ongoing repentance (turning heart affections away from idols) and faith (turning heart affections to Jesus Christ) results in the gospel transforming Christians into being more spiritually-minded and Christ-like. John Owen, Jonathan Edwards, Tim Keller and others are cited.
