Growing in Community : Preparing for Success

By: Wendy Buttacy

This first study in the Preparing for Success series tackles the question: "How can we begin to grow and succeed in life? Even though we all have unique pasts, values, and experiences, preparing for success requires us to learn new skills. This study will focus on how opening up to build community with God and others can help us learn, grow, and succeed. Healthy community engagement allows us to learn new life skills, build our character, and step into God's abundant resources. We need God and other people to help us develop the abilities needed for success. Community matters. If you've battled addiction or other life controlling issues, you know the damage that isolation can cause. It stunts our growth and teaching us to survive (keep one foot out of the grave) instead of life skills (how to exceed expectations and live in abundance). The good news is that no matter what we've been taught previously, we can learn new skills if we are willing. But we can't learn them on our own-we need community. Life-controlling issues grow in isolation. They push us away from others, God, and our own hopes and dreams. Stepping into a successful new life in Christ requires us to reconnect and grow in community. This study will help us step beyond the barriers of the past and our fears to step into God's abundance and we grow in community together.
