Training Program - Cindy Reynolds | | |
|
The Training Program seemed like a huge undertaking. Life was already "full," I was in a community group and didn't really want to take time away from our group for eight months. So, I posed the idea that we all take the Training Program together. I'm thankful that we did! We're all in different places in our walk with the Lord, but this time of studying together not only deepened our relationships with each other, but more importantly with Him! As one of the cohort leaders, it was great to see the commitment in our group to dig deeper into spiritual disciplines and memorization that were not practiced in our lives before! I would encourage anyone to participate in the Training Program. It will challenge you greatly in your spiritual life! | | |
