Requirements

  • All are welcome. Each of us are on the same journey of spiritual development, just at a different place along it, and with varying lessons and challenges. Let that unique nature of our journey be something that unites us as we learn more about who we are, why we're here, and how to not just "survive" life, but to thrive and grow through it all.

Description

  • Do you desire to be closer with God and in the flow of His purpose for you?

  • Are you tired of the status quo in relationships, religion, and a life lived by the standards and priorities of the world?

  • Are you doing good things – reading the Bible, taking self-help courses, going to church, giving, serving – yet still feel something’s missing?

  • Or do you lack good habits and want the true motivation needed to grow spiritually and situationally?

  • Are you ready for a breakthrough that’s rooted in God’s Spirit within you and propelled by His supernatural provision and direction for your life?

This course begins your journey into discovering why Christians can continue to live disempowered, unfulfilled, and just generally lacking in well-being and purpose. Discover what "barriers" are to living as a thriving and effective Child of God, and how to step more fully into an intimate and transformative relationship with God.

We’ll also be reviewing the content of all 5 courses of the Connection Series, why they were created, and I’ll give you more background on me and my heart for empowering you in your walk with God. 

Being a Christian is not the same as being Christ-like.

We can be saved…and then go our way – continuing to live in the direction and oppression of our old natures, fighting old battles, relying on ourselves, and remaining in imbalance…

OR

We can be saved…giving up our own way to follow the way of Christ, being renewed and transformed from the inside out, until our lives naturally reflect that inner change and obedience to God’s direction.

IN SHORT:

We can allow our union with His Holy Spirit to be transformational (submitting and partnering with Him) or we can keep it bottled up inside and choose to remain under the influence of the world, the enemy, and their deceptions.

This isn’t trivial. These are two very different Christians.

Who this course is for:

  • If you're a brand new Christian, a life-long Christian, a Christian who walked away from Christianity, or even someone looking for spiritual healing yet unsure about what that means, this course is for you.
  • Brand new believers, seasoned Christians, and unbelievers. God loves you all. Welcome!
