Believe Like Jesus: 40 Days to Spiritual Transformation
By Rebekah Simon-Peter
Believe Like Jesus takes readers and groups on a 40-day journey to spiritual transformation. This is a fresh approach to spiritual growth unlike anything you may have experienced before. These 40 days of transformation invite you to shift from believing in Jesus to believing like Jesus, from rising from faith in Jesus to the faith of Jesus, from being a disciple to being an apostle, all to become more Christ-like.
As Christians, we’ve always been asked to live our faith out loud. While we may feel silenced by the sheer number of challenges we face, the present times demand that we dig deep into our spiritual lives so we can be bold voices for love, for a shared purpose, and for a common vision. By living our faith in Jesus, we can transform the world and manifest the Kingdom of God here on earth.
To rise to the challenge of our times, we must draw on a more active faith. We must transform our faith so that it has a greater impact. As Christians, by definition, we all have faith in Jesus. But what if we changed our mindset? What if we rise from having faith in Jesus to having the faith of Jesus?
Just as a tree puts down deep roots to grow tall, we take a deep inward journey of spiritual transformation to rise into human beings who live our faith more courageously, more miraculously. Your new way of being will invite others to do the same. As you deepen your spirituality and broaden your impact, watch the people around you become less fearful and more hopeful.
