The Journey through Life: Avoiding the Potholes

Throughout the journey of life there are many opportunities for growth or stagnation. Too many people get stuck on this journey. Want to know where the major potholes are?

 
         
  RealFaithRealLife Checklist for Life   The goal of “Checklist of Life” is to help young adults explore the reasons why some people stop growing: identity crisis, feelings of isolation, unrewarding careers, consumerism, and “control freak” behavior. With Scripture as our guide, we look at ways to open ourselves to genuine relationships with God and each other. We will also look at the stages of life and how they relate to real life as Christians.  
         
 

“Checklist of Life” is the spring study from Real Faith, Real Life, the We Believe: God’s Word for God’s People series for both young adults and adults young at heart. The six-week study is meant to encourage young adults to respond to their calling from God to live a life full of joy and hope. We also study specifically how our identity has been shaped and how we relate to others in that calling. “Checklist of Life” addresses how we use the resources available to us (time, money, power) and whether or not our current lifestyles reflect a concern for future generations.

The Real Faith, Real Life series books are not dated, and other titles in this series are still available for study. Those titles, listed below, can be ordered by phone or online. The Real Faith, Real Life series lends itself to alternative settings and can be used at whatever pace your group determines is most beneficial.
