Okay let’s go on a journey together!
Week One of Your Journey - Trailhead w/Larry
Week 1 Challenge
Here’s what we would like you to do this week. Thank God each day for this gift of salvation. Thank him for forgiveness and the freedom to know and walk with Jesus. Try not to miss a single day
Week Two - Hiking Bag w/Nathan
Week 2 Challenge
-
Identify two challenges in your life that God could be using to build your faith...
-
It could be something at work or in your marriage
-
Maybe you’re a student and it’s related to your school work
-
Maybe it’s something with your health or the health of a loved one
-
​​
-
Each time you think of your challenge or are actively in the middle of it...
-
say a prayer to God, asking for his help.
-
Your Journey Continues - Food & Fire w/Matt
Week 3 Challenge
Start reading the Gospel of John. It’s the fourth book in the New Testament. It’s okay if you don’t understand everything, but it will tell you the story of Jesus when he was here on earth. If you're new to the Bible, then try an easier version, like the New International Version (NIV) or the New Living Translation (NLT).
We'll get into translations another time.
Week Four - Compass w/Raymond
Week 4 Challenge
Here’s your assignment this week: Ask God to help you produce the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23. Do this by first listening to God’s voice and then work to act in accordance with that list. The goal isn’t perfection, but the direction of your journey. You got this!
Don't Travel Alone w/Crystal
Week 5 Challenge
Answer Two Questions...
-
Are you an engaged member of a local church? We'd love to have you visit Rescue Culture.
-
Do you meet with other Christians outside of the church walls? This is how godly friendships are built. Grab coffee or lunch with a friend from church this week.
Almost Done! Sharing The Journey w/Nathan
Week 7 Challenge
Let us encourage you to think about the things that come easy to you. What are the things others tell you you’re good at? Write those down. Then ask God: how can I use this to bless others this week? Long-term, how can you serve and bless others through your church?
​
The first Christians did this from the beginning... “And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need.” (Acts 2:44-45 NLT)
​
Also, you're so close to completing your journey!!
This Is It...Week 7! Inviting Others w/Nathan
Week 7 Challenge
We want to encourage you to make a list of 3 people you could be praying for over the next two weeks. Pray for an opportunity to serve them and even to talk to them about the Lord. Be sensitive to each person and where they are in their journey. Sometimes, you might only help them take one step closer. That’s okay. Someone else will pick up where you left off. Your job is to simply do your part in their journey.
You Did It! Congratulations!
5 STEPS To Continue Your Journey

We want to encourage you to take a few next steps.
