G.W. Bill Elliott, Jr once noted;
When you realize your circle of influence is a malformed square, you will better understand how and where to fit in.
Week:
1
Foundations of Faith
An introduction to the gospel and identity in Christ. This week grounds participants in the core story of the Christian life, clarifying who God is, what Christ has done, and how that shapes our identity. The study of this week emphasizes the beginnings of trust—how belief becomes the soil for spiritual growth and practical discipleship. Participants will leave with simple, tangible ways to remember and live out these foundational truths.
Objectives
Begin simple spiritual habits (short prayer, Scripture reading).
Practice honest openness before God.
Grasp basic gospel truths and personal identity in Christ.
Reflections
What one small spiritual habit will I start this week?
Where do I hide from God or others, and why?
How does being “in Christ” change how I see myself?
