Self-Awareness and Managing Yourself

^ Shortcode ^

Have you ever looked at other Christians and felt like they have an understanding of themselves and God that you’re missing?

Maybe you’ve reached a spiritual lull and aren’t sure where to go from here. Intentionally stepping into God’s transforming work in our lives can bring us to an ever-deepening place of self-awareness and understanding of God. As this self-awareness is explored and experienced through listening deeply to God in the context of a loving Christian community, we begin to step into the reality of who we are in Christ.

It’s not a journey you have to make alone. God will give you community and his Holy Spirit to make the journey by the power of his grace. Are you ready?
