Introducing a new series: Making Time!

DIGITAL GROUP GUIDE

How are you at making time? Do you feel like you have enough time in the day? Do you know if you have enough time in the day? Is there a difference between how you feel about time and what you think about your time?

This is the first of a 6 part series on Making Time. Everyone has the same number of hours in the day so why do some people seem to get so much more done? Why do some other people seem so rushed and others seem so casual?

While this series can be listened to on your end, you’ll get more out of it if you listen to it together with someone else, your spouse, family, small group, book/podcast club or whatever. If you want to make it more fun and interactive with your group, download the GROUP Method discussion guide here: https://lumivoz.com/making-time/

And we are giving away 50 free GROUP Method Notebooks. Each notebook has premium BLACK paper and comes with a white pen. To get a free notebook, you can do 1 of the following:

1. Leave a review for Making Time on your podcast app of choice.
2. Share the Making Time podcast on social media.

Take a screenshot of either one and email it to makingtime@lumivoz.com

This podcast is just launching and still very small so if you enter, you are probably going to win! But here’s the catch, only 1 notebook and pen per email entry. If you want one for each member of your group, they each have to enter. Sorry, we can only afford to ship to the US and Canada at this time but will hopefully have some more international options soon, especially if y’all share this podcast and it gets popular enough ;)

When we think of Christian maturity, we often hear about spiritual practices like Bible reading, prayer, and giving, but we don’t often hear about someone who has a heart for the lost. In this session, Dean Inserra teaching we are never more like Jesus than when we are seeking our lost friends, so having a missional heart is an essential mark of a growing disciple.

Every Christian—regardless of age, demographic, or background—is designed by God to grow in faith. But many of us don’t know what growth looks like. How do we even know we’re growing? In Marks of a Disciple, pastor Dean Inserra examines six measurements to help us see whether or not we’re developing spiritually. This is not a checklist or a punch card, but rather a group of traits distilled from Scripture that should be evident in the life of a follower of Jesus. As we pursue these markers, our faith can flourish the way God intended.

Session Topics:

• Repentant Life (This Episode)
• Healthy Habits
• Eternally Minded
• Generous Living
• Theologically Sound
• Missional Heart
