Next Steps

All of us are on a journey when it comes to our faith. Occasionally it is helpful for us to reflect on where we are at in the journey right now in order to consider where God might be calling us to take the next step as disciples of Jesus Christ. There is no one size fits all approach for spiritual growth, but there are spiritual disciplines and other resources that have proven helpful to people over time. Here you will find a few questions for reflection to help you discern what a possible next step may be for you.


Questions for reflection


Where am I seeing growth in my walk with Jesus?

Where do I feel I've grown tired or stuck in my walk with Jesus? 

What next step can I take to grow in my faith? How am I going to do this? 

What activities may I need to reduce my involvement in or step away from in order to create more space to grow spiritually?
