You are Producing!

Throughout this stage, you are developing a new perspective of who God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are in your life and how that affects your daily living.

Congratulations on being at a stage in your spiritual life where you are living out the very attributes of Galatians 5:22-23, the Fruits of the Spirit. As our spiritual roots grow deeper, the more fruit God produces in us. Staying connected and bearing fruit is essential as followers of Jesus. Perhaps you’ve surprised yourself along the way by realizing that you’ve become more patient, loving, kind, gentle, joyful, and exercised more self-control. Keep at it!

Throughout the PRODUCING stage, you desire a deeper understanding of God’s Word and how God can transform every area of your life. You are developing a new perspective of who God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are in your life and how that affects your daily living. It’s also time to begin considering how you can help others grow in their relationship with God by sharing your faith and journey with them. You’re becoming a disciple of Jesus.
 
There is much to focus on and experience in this stage of your journey.  Remember, you are not alone. Your Discipleship Guide will help keep you accountable and follow up on the progress you are making through the recommended resource guide.

There are no shortcuts to growing your faith. Relationships require hard work. So, let's get started!

Discipleship Guide

Your Guide will be a resource as you grow in your relationship with Jesus.  They will be a wise spiritual leader who listens well and helps keep you accountable to grow in specific areas of your life throughout your journey. Your Guide will also provide insight and assistance on handling hard situations and overcoming sin in your life.
Throughout this next year, you will meet with your Guide monthly and engage in the recommended resources provided below. Here’s what to expect:
  • Monthly meeting with your Guide.
  • Participate in a GatheringPoint Leadership Development (GPLD) Cohort. Each cohort of 25 participants meets once a month (dates TBD) for nine months. GPLD is an in-depth dive into becoming a disciple of Jesus.
  • At the conclusion of one year, you will retake the GrowthPoint Assessment.
