21 Challenges 21 Days to THRIVE!
We have begun this week our 21 days of worship online for 2021! I hope you are joining in each day at 6 am or at a time that works for you. The 21 days will offer a daily key to thriving. Practicing these keys all year will serve us well! These keys also translate into a daily challenge. I thought you might be interested in having a list of all the daily challenges to use as a catalyst in your walk with Jesus. The three weeks of the 21 Days are broken into three different categories God, self, and others. The daily challenges and scriptures are from my work, but I did want to give credit for some ideas for the framework from Chris Folmsbee in his book The Wesley Challenge.
Well, I hope you will respond to the daily challenges! If so, we can make a significant step to thriving in our walk with Jesus. These challenges are very practical and doable. These practices can be an extension of our walk with Jesus as His disciple! May the Lord Bless You this year! Let’s THRIVE!
Shalom,
Philip
