Description

What story is shaping your life?

For too long, we’ve lived as though spiritual growth simply means trying harder or being better for God. But what if the deepest transformation doesn’t come from doing more for Jesus, but from letting Him tell us who we are?

You’ll learn to
  • recognize and replace false narratives that are keeping you from a life of true transformation.
  • discover the five questions at the heart of every disciple’s journey: Who is God? Who am I? Who do I belong to? Who am I becoming? Who do I represent?
  • reimagine discipleship as an embodied, relational process rather than a series of spiritual steps.
  • experience the healing power of true community and the freedom of living under God’s authority.
  • learn how becoming good news reveals Jesus to the world.
