Grow Up Already
In Grow Up Already, Dr. Rivera reveals how transformation of mind, soul, and spirit unfolds through the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Drawing from the Apostle Paul’s imagery of a lifted veil, she illustrates the journey toward God’s likeness, reminding readers that the same Spirit at work in the early church is alive today, inviting us to grow.

¡Crece Ya!
La madurez se trata de ser transformados por el Espíritu Santo en nuestra mente, alma y espíritu. Se trata de pensar diferente, actuar diferente y responder al Padre de manera diferente. Pablo describe esta transformación como un velo que ha sido quitado y ahora nos está transformando a la imagen de Dios.
