APPLICATION QUESTIONS
When have you felt most “spiritual” (closest to Jesus)? Do you ever feel like you lose your “spirituality” (closeness to Jesus) in the messiness and busyness of life? Explain.
ACTIVATION STEPS
Develop (or define) an encouragement partner – someone who will primarily encourage you by celebrating “wins” in your life. Secondly, they will pray with you and partner with you to develop practical steps toward building healthy attitudes, beliefs, mindsets, and habits. The health and effectiveness of these encouragement partner relationships directly correlate to the depth and vulnerability of the conversations. Who is it? What are your conversations primarily based upon: successes or failures? Explain. How does this person intentionally partner with you to develop healthy attitudes, beliefs, mindsets, and habits?
