Progression

This group is meant to facilitate discussion and meaningful conversations. The information below is derived from this week's Progression Outline.

Topic: Progression

Overview: Intentionally reflecting on our progression allows us to see how God shows up in our lives in His perfect timing. His love for us is profound, and He desires our growth so that we can learn to love ourselves through His grace, with confidence and humility. When we seek His wisdom and trust in His timing, we begin to see the bigger picture.

Progression isn't just about moving forward; it's about evolving beyond old habits and thought patterns, and embracing new behaviors that lead to personal development and improved mental health. While trusting God's timing, we also rely on His strength and power to push us out of our comfort zone. Habit formation, whether in thoughts or actions, becomes part of the journey, as each new behavior brings us closer to the version of ourselves that God envisions—empowered, loving, and trusting in His perfect timing.

Verse: Philippians 1:6 (NIV) - “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

How This Verse Can Relate to the Journey of Progression: This verse offers a powerful reminder that our journey of progression is guided by God's unwavering commitment to us. It reassures us that the good work He has started in our lives—our personal growth, healing, and transformation—will not be left unfinished. As we navigate challenges and embrace new behaviors, habits, and thought patterns, we can trust that God is actively involved in every step of our journey. This confidence in His faithfulness empowers us to move forward, knowing that our progression is part of His greater plan.
