3 Building Blocks to More Confidence in Uncertainty

Block #1

It’s not you, it’s Jesus

Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. (1 Peter 4:18)

Block #2

Habits help us transform.

Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
(Romans 12:2b)

The two most impactful spiritual habits are:

  • Prayer

  • Reflecting on the teachings of Jesus and his apostles.

    • Consider taking the BetterLife Challenge where we will send you 30 days of encouragement to help kick start your habit of prayer and reflecting on scripture.

He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
(John 3:30)

Block #3

Transformational Community

Breakthrough doesn’t happen alone.

“They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers.” (‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:42‬ ‭MSG‬‬)

Get in a group where you can be known, pray, and reflect on scripture.

  • Get in a group or a watch party. Find one HERE.

  • Consider LEADING one.

If you’ve never said YES to Jesus, to receive His unconditional love and acceptance of you, are you ready to make that change and stand on solid ground?

Consider praying this prayer:

Jesus​ ​I​ ​give​ ​you​ ​my​ ​life. Thank​ ​you​ ​for​ ​saving​ ​me. I​ ​believe​ ​in​ ​you. Your​ ​life. Your​ ​death​ ​on​ ​the​ ​cross. And​ ​your​ ​resurrection. Forgive​ ​me​ ​of​ ​my​ ​sins. Fill​ ​me​ ​with​ ​your​ ​Holy​ ​Spirit. Lead​ ​me. And​ ​teach​ ​me​ ​to​ ​follow​ ​you. And​ ​I​ ​ask​ ​it​ ​in​ ​Jesus​ ​name.
