SIMPLE SAVVY LIFE ACADEMY

We are living in crazy times. But let’s make the best use of it. What is essential to you?! How has COVID-19 changed you? Or has it? Let’s strip off the weight that slows us down from running the race God has set before us. When we are finally able to roam the streets of our city and assemble again, are you going to be just as busy. Or are you going to reorient your life to run the race God wants you to run!!?

Let’s talk about the real enemy here and how we can return to our first Love. How can we use this time to reset, re-evaluate, recalibrate, rediscover, and return?!? All those “re” words. We can’t rewind. But we can change how we live from here forward. Find more resources at www.simplesavvylife.com

What if this was a time we could use to cease striving and return to God? What if this was a gift to rest, be quiet, and listen to Him. And just “what if”...this was the beginning of the end, what difference would it make? How would your life change? Or would it? I’m processing it with you. Being real.

What is Discipleship? It’s the process of making a disciple.

What is a disciple?

Merriam-Webster defines disciple as one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another: such as Christianity.

The Greek definition of "disciple" - mathéteuó - to be a disciple, to make a disciple. Helping someone progressively learn the Word.

If we look at the Great Commission closely in Matthew 28:19-20 we see that being a disciple commands discipleship. Discipleship is the process of "making disciples." We, as believers and followers of Christ, are commanded to "go make disciples"...to reproduce the faith...reproduce the process of Gather, Grow, Go, and Give.

 

It is the process Jesus used in His ministry.

Gather - He gathered a group of 12

Grow - He taught them insight into the Word by walking through life with them and applying Truth. Life on Life.

Go - He sent them out into their areas of influence to gather others.

Give - He asked them to give all their resources (their very lives) to further the Kingdom.

Too many people want to stay in the "growing" and learning phase. Which is great! We are always learning and growing in Christ. It is a lifelong process. But we are not called to just grow in knowledge of Him.

We are called to "go." Robby Gallaty, pastor of Long Hollow Baptist Church and author of "Making Disciples" podcast, said something very profound...

"The gospel came to you because it was heading to someone else." Robby Gallaty’s podcast on Making Disciples https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/making-disciples-with-robby-gallaty/id1379005934

We all have a need to make a difference in the world. No matter your age, we all long to make an impact and be a powerful influence.   But we start looking around at what others are doing and we get sidetracked and distracted. We start to compare ourselves to others.   This is exactly what the enemy wants so we won’t be powerful and effective. The Apostle Paul talked about this in 2 Corinthians 10:12-18. He talked to the church at Corinth about comparison, influence, and goals. We each have been given an area of influence. We are one body but with many gifts.   Download your Free Purpose Planner to help you stay focused.  https://www.simplesavvylife.com/purpose-planner-form   Follow Simple Savvy Life with Kerry Myers for more videos and content on the Purpose Planner and Gospel-Centered Purpose. https://www.facebook.com/SimpleSavvyLifewithKerryMyers/

God has given each of us unique gifts, talents, and stories to make His name great. But when we start to make a name for ourselves He will frustrate our plans. The cost of following Jesus...renounce all that you have (Luke 14:33). Unclenched fists and open palms. Humbly acknowledging that everything that you have comes from above. Make wise choices as you disperse God’s gifts back out into the world to display His glory.

What if the things that caused you the most hurt became the birthplace of your deepest passion? What if you could get past your fears and insecurities and spend the rest of your life doing the work God has created for you to do?! What if you became God’s holiness on display to those around you? Listen in as we address these topics. www.simplesavvylife.com

What is the future you hope for?! Is it a future that has “self” on a pedestal. Or one in which God is at the center is all you do and say. A life full of stuff? Or a life full of God?! One brings death and one brings life. Which one will you choose. Are you trying to make a name for yourself?
