If you don’t know what the heck this post is about, you are far-far-far behind. Andy Stanley, Pastor of North Point Community Church, just finished one of the best message series on faith that I have ever heard. Over the course of 6 weeks, he unpacked “Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith”. Taken from mere observation of the Christian journey, Andy presented 5 key things that God uses as a catalyst to grow our faith.

They include:

1. Practical Teaching
2. Providential Relationships
3. Private Disciplines
4. Personal Ministry
5. Pivotal Circumstances

Talk about a message series worth buying for a close friend, a family member, a new believer, or a co-worker. These messages have helped to clear up a lot of ambiguity and questions concerning my faith in God. Many of us have experienced at least one if not all five of these things that God uses to grow our faith in some way.

I challenge you to take some time this week and stop by the website and watch the videos... especially Practical Teaching and Pivotal Circumstances. Trust me, your understanding of faith will never be the same.
