Believe Like Jesus: Rising from Faith in Jesus to the Faith of Jesus

Thursdays, 11am–Noon and 6:30–7:30pm beginning March 6th

As Christians, we’ve always been asked to live our faith out loud. While we may feel silenced by the tremendous number of issues we face, we must rise to the challenge of our times; we must draw on a more active faith. We must dig deeper to make an impact. But what if we changed our mindset? What if we rise from having faith in Jesus to having the faith of Jesus? What is the faith of Jesus? How do we learn to believe like Jesus? Would this mindset change our lives, our communities, our world?
Take an inward journey of spiritual transformation to live courageously, grow strong and thrive. Rising from Faith in Jesus to the Faith of Jesus!

You can purchase a copy of the book Believe Like Jesus by Rebekah Simon-Peter from Cokesbury or Barnes & Noble.
