What Is A Step Study?

Step Study.

It’s referred to as the HEART of the Celebrate Recovery program. That means it’s a catalyst. In simpler terms, it generates activity; it’s the cause (not the effect), it creates, sustains, motivates, inspires, and precipitates LIFE! Step Studies are the catalyst for discovering and obtaining a FULL and HEALTHY life.

I’m serious. There’s nothing better. Step Studies help guide us beyond the surface level, to go deeper, to get passed the symptoms and get to the root. We discover who we are by changing our perspective. We discover who are we, not based on what we’ve DONE, not based on what we’ve been CALLED…we discover who are we in Christ.

Step Studies are, without a doubt in my mind, one of the most intense discipleship groups available to the community at large, not just the Church. What is discipleship? Discipleship is change and THAT’S what the Step Study is about…CHANGE. I’m not talking about something cosmetic, I’m not referring to something temporary, I’m not talking about replacing one mask with another; I’m talking about PERMANENT, LASTING CHANGE (in Christ, let’s not forget He is the author of change).

So, please, understand my excitement as I concluded another Step Study Leader Training last night. Like, I’m EXCITED! 15 people have been trained this past month. 15! I’m praying that as we train and equip NEW leaders, God brings the people. As a matter of fact, I’m thanking Him right now for what He’s GOING TO DO!

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
Luke 16:10 NIV84

In this verse Jesus is referring to stuff, material things, the sociocultural definition of wealth…how much more does He consider the value of PEOPLE?

I’m believing God to transform our community. The streets are full of hurting people. Our homes are falling apart. We can’t escape it anymore. Something has to change. Let it be me. Let it be you. Let’s do it TOGETHER.

If you’re interested in experiencing LIFE CHANGE, if you’re interested in DISCOVERING WHO YOU ARE, I invite you to join a Step Study.

If you want a better LATER, you gotta start working on your right NOW.
