Starting conversations
It’s easy to have a superficial conversation with someone.
What if you didn’t talk to make conversation, but instead you talked to make a difference?
This article offers some simple suggestions that can help!
Sharing the Gospel
in this day and age, it’s not unusual for people to be anxious, fearful, panicked, etc. This is a natural bridge for us to be able to hear their hearts and respond with Christ-like compassion and empathy.
Journaling Sheet
As we are to grow in Christ, it’s important to be “doers of the Word, not just hearers.”
Journaling helps us track and recall our growth.
This G.R.O.W.T.H. Sheet tool is one of many that can help.
Stages of spiritual growth
Spiritual growth is a journey, not a destination. People grow at different paces, sometimes even “one step forward and two steps back.”
This tool helps us understand some of the aspects of the growth journey. The 5 Stages of Spiritual Growth described in this tool are not set in stone but serve as general guidelines to help us as we make disciples.
Tips on consistent prayer
We all know we should pray consistently, authentically, and passionately.
This tool provides some understanding about how to pray consistently and to pray according to biblical principles from Jesus Himself.
Also some insight into putting on the Armor of God.

When we begin to understand who we are in Christ, our lives really start to be transformed.
There are biblical references, devotions, and prayers that help someone understand that:
I am Accepted
I am Secure
I am Significant
