Day 2: It's Not A Sprint

Discovering God On The Journey

Day 3: Have a Chat

Prayer as the Foundation of Faith

Communication is an important part of any relationship, it's no different in our relationship with God. That's why we pray – it’s personal, meaningful, and doesn’t need to be complicated – it just needs to be real. Whether you’re asking for help or simply saying thanks, God is always ready to listen..

Day 4: The Bible is our Road Map

Just like a map helps you navigate unfamiliar roads, the Bible is God’s guide for our lives. God’s Word isn’t outdated or irrelevant – it’s alive, powerful, and still speaks today. It reveals who God is, how He sees us, and how we can walk in true freedom. The Bible sets healthy boundaries not to restrict us, but to lead us into the life we were created to live.

Day 5: Failure Freedom

The Gift of God's Grace

We all stumble – but failure doesn’t have to be final. God’s grace is a daily gift, not something we earn. Even the Apostle Paul struggled to do what was right, yet he discovered the power of God working through his weakness. You’re not alone in your mistakes, and you’re not disqualified by them. When we bring our failures to God, His truth and grace lead us into freedom and strength.

Day 6: Jump On In

Trusting and Following Jesus

Baptism isn’t just a tradition – it’s a personal decision to leave your old life behind and publicly follow Jesus. It’s an outward expression of the inner change that’s already happened. You don’t need to have everything figured out – just a heart willing to follow. If Jesus was baptised and calls us to do the same, why wait? Take the step.

Day 7: Your Next Steps

Your journey with Jesus is just beginning – and there’s so much more ahead. The next step? Get planted in a community. Whether it’s a small group, an Alpha course, or serving in church, real growth happens through real relationships. You were made to know others, be known, and make a difference.
