Every person that starts a relationship with Jesus, enters like a wonderful child then matures into a spiritual young man with the desire to become a father in the faith.
I have started hundreds in their discipleship with The Journey Guide.
Growth Chart
If you don’t know where you are going, any old road will get you there.
Spiritual Growth Check-off List
If you still don’t know where your maturity level is and the path to grow in Jesus, honestly answer these questions.
This check-off list is one of several parts of The House Church Movement that I developed in 1990. I have found it helpful to start EVERYONE on the same foundation with the Journey Guide; child, young man, father. These will work even if you are still in a Religious Building System but understand it works best in the small group setting.
(Only check the ones you have understood and have experienced)
