Do you feel stuck in life? Trials are small and in the short term whereas, the Wall is more macro within your life. The Wall is the bottom of the U-Curve, and it can feel overwhelming. We all will hit our walls in our lives, but how we work through them is important. We have three options, 1. Give up and walk away. 2. Fake it and act like we have it “together.” 3. Allow God to carry you through the Wall.   Key Insights You can't break through The Wall on your own. God will carry you through it. Christianity is God’s pursuit of us. He shapes us but shaping can hurt at times. On the other side of the wall is your true self in Christ.

Are you ready for God to move in your life and shape who you are today? Having a good community in your life can make or break how well you receive the U-Curves that come to your life. The process to find mentors that will bring guidance in your life is essential. Key Insights God’s primary goal is not happiness and success - it’s a Christlike you. Reshaping can be painful. A life-changing shift will most likely happen through a human being. Who are a good mentor and a lousy mentor for you? Evolution of discipleship: Parenting to Modeling to Partnering

Have you felt lost in life and not know what God is trying to do with your life?   The U -Curve is your happiness, and we all will go through good times and hard times throughout our life. The power of God is the ultimate Renewable Energy. Do you want Renewal from God through your U curve? We break down each decade of life.   Key Insights   -Lifelong renewal does not happen without lifelong discipleship. -Build a powerful and lifelong discipleship eco-system.   If you would like to stay in the loop.
