You never know someone until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes.
Every shoe tells a story - of where we come from, and where we are going.
We wear different shoes for different times and occasions in our lives. From the first baby steps in knitted booties, to the teenage swagger in worn sneakers, and then the matured stride in glossy leather, the shoe that we wear is a snapshot of growth and the stage of life we are in.
Likewise, our spiritual growth can be mirrored by the “shoes” that we wear. Different seasons in our life call for different types of footwear, and God is like an artisan shoemaker crafting a shoe according to the specific contours of our feet as we grow.
That is what Next Steps is. As we take our steps in spiritual maturity, there will be classes catered to specific seasons of your life. From a youth in school, to a young adult grappling with career choices or a young parent with toddlers, our goal is to provide you with teaching that will equip you for the shoes you are wearing.
Regardless of the stage in life we are in, there are essential things that we need in order to grow. Just like air and water, there are Essential teachings we need in order to survive and grow as a healthy Christian. Vitamins and supplements on the other hand are supplements usually taken to target specific deficiencies in our health. We take them to enhance the quality of our lives. And these will change according to the stage of life we are in. These are what we call Enrichments. We will be providing Enrichment classes that will serve to enrich your lives with the strength you need to walk in your current pair of shoes.
Do take your Next Steps in the shoes that He has prepared specially for you. This journey will be one of the greatest discoveries of both ourselves and our Maker.
Lets begin.
