Have you ever wondered how to grow closer to God and strengthen your faith during hard times?

In this episode, I want to introduce to you the Fearless Faith Roadmap. After looking back at the decade or so I realized that I've learned a lot about growing a strong faith during hard times, which you can hear a bit about in episode 1. I’ve summarized my journey into a system or framework.

So today, I’m going to give you an overview of this roadmap and why I think it will help you as well. As you listen, I want you to keep in mind the life cycle of a butterfly: from egg to butterfly.

Step 1: Egg This is when you become aware of your struggles, the fact that you are in over your head, and that you need to turn to God if you're going to make it through

Step 2: Caterpillar Spiritual growth is the focus of this step. Spending time with God in prayer, digging into scripture and other disciplines so that you can grow your faith

Step 3: Pupa in Chrysalis  A chrysalis provides a safe place for a caterpillar to become a butterfly. Just like your time in the word and prayer provides a safe place for you to get to really know God

Step 4: Metamorphasis This is the hardest part of the roadmap. Where you have to dig deep and do the hard work of working through your hurts, pains and overwhelming thoughts and emotions

Step 5: Emerge from Cocoon When a butterfly finally emerges from the cocoon it doesn't fly away immediately. It takes a beat to rest. You need to do the same thing.

Step 6: Butterfly Flies Away Even in hard times we can live with joy and peace. Don't forget to keep dreaming and enjoying life no matter what season you find yourself in
