GROW Model | The Cross (Sin Defeated): The Substitution

He took our place. Not metaphorically—literally. We were the guilty, yet He stood in the courtroom and said, “Charge Me instead.” The Cross is divine exchange: innocence for guilt, life for death, holiness for sin. The Lamb became the scapegoat. And in that moment, heaven turned its face so earth…

GROW Model | The Cross (Sin Defeated): The Weight Of Sin

GROW Model | The Right Criteria: When Appearances Mislead

We live in a world obsessed with optics — image over integrity, noise over nuance. But the right criteria go deeper than what we see on the surface. Today, we look at how judging by appearance can cost us real value and how to reset our lens to see people,…

GROW Model | The Right Criteria: What Are You Using to Measure

Everyone uses criteria, whether we realise it or not. From whom we trust to what we chase, our decisions are guided by invisible checklists we’ve built over time. But are those lists rooted in truth, or in habit, culture, and emotion? Today, we challenge ourselves to examine the standards we…
