5 TOOLS FOR FAITH
Step into a faith journey with Jesus that offers both profound challenges and immense rewards, now and eternally. Let the words of the apostle Peter inspire you: "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). With over 35 years in ministry, I've crafted five indispensable tools every church leader should carry in their “backpack” to enhance their skills and magnify their Gospel influence. These tools aren't merely for navigating your spiritual path; they're crafted to empower you to unleash your full God-given potential. Gear up, embrace the challenge, and join me in transforming potential into greatness. Begin your climb today—equip yourself with the necessary tools and boldly take the next step in fulfilling God’s plan. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
1. Trail Guide | The Walk & Talk
The Trail Guide serves as a spiritual companion for church leaders and congregants alike, inspiring and guiding you to live out God's mission and uphold the core values of your faith community. This weekly one-page (PDF) guide equips each member of your church with key biblical principles and practices that foster a transformative culture within your ministry. Accompanying this resource, the Walk and Talk Video, spanning 3-5 minutes, reinforces the teachings of the Trail Guide through engaging visual storytelling. Together, the Trail Guide and the Walk & Talk video are formidable tools in spreading the Word of God, catering to diverse learning preferences and enhancing communal bonds.
2. Small Group and Sermon Material
Hike The Mountain offers invaluable resources for churches and their leaders, supplying both small group lessons and sermon materials in written and video formats. These tools are crafted to deepen faith, foster community, and challenge believers to live out the teachings of Christ in everyday life. Each lesson and sermon is designed to be accessible yet profound, encouraging participants to not only hear the Word but also put it into action. We invite you to engage with these resources—dive into the Scripture, connect with others, and step boldly into your calling. Let’s climb this mountain together, transforming our lives and communities in the process.
