THE FIRST STEP TOWARD GROWTH IS NOTICING
What are the lifestyle characteristics that distinguish a follower of Jesus from someone who has no relationship with Him? Widespread research suggests that in our society there are none.
Why is that? Surely one would expect a follower of history's most influential person to stand out from the crowd. Perhaps it relates to the pace of contemporary life. By running so fast, we miss the meaning of our actions, and the cultivation of our characters. Though many people do try to capture each day's experiences in a journal, few take that practice to the level of a spiritual discipline by using it to explore the work of God in our lives.

In Spiritual Journaling, you will learn to recognize the progression from who you have been to who you are meant to become. By taking time to go back and understand the critical elements of your life—the events, relationships, patterns, and experiences that shape you—you will gradually find yourself viewing the future through the lens of conformity to the way of Jesus.

Whether you choose to explore this new skill with a group of friends (recommended!) or on your own, you'll benefit from the thoughtful exercises presented in this study guide.
