What does it take to grow spiritually?
Recent research by Barna indicates that 74% of Ameican adults want to grow spiritually (Barna.com). This is more Americancs that attend church services regularly, by at least 40 million.
And what does it take to actually grow spiritually? Some things that I think create the environment for that growth include the following:
1. personal intention to listen and look for God
2. giving God an invitation to help
3. a regular spiritual practice that creates space and time for openness to God
4. repetition for over 12 weeks. Habits shape much of our human behavior and thought patterns. These habits take time and repetition to change. One day trainings rarely lead to lasting change.
Bridge Leaders are entering groups outside the church and engaging these people in friendly, loving, open ways. BridgesUS provides training in the skills used by missionaries around the world to help people do these 4 things. Bridge Leaders help people do these 4 things in times and spaces that are in their normal, everyday lives.
