DISCIPLESHIP
RETHINK Everything
Welcome to a New Way of Thinking is a 13-part discipleship series for new believers beginning their journey with Jesus or long-time Christians rebuilding their faith. This theologically balanced resource combines thoughtful biblical foundations with emotionally healthy spiritual practices and the missional values of the Gospel of the Kingdom—helping people not only believe in Jesus but begin to think, live, and love like Him. Currently available online as a digital devotional, the spiral-bound printed workbook/devotional is coming this fall.
“Pastor Jim’s teachings are so interesting and extremely helpful. I love that they are always biblically based and very prevalent to our current worldly situation or personal struggles. It is obvious that there is a lot of time and preparation involved in each series. I never feel like we are being “preached to” but receiving God’s word through teaching and learning together.“
