Print the chart and mark where you think you fall in each of the four areas. What you see may suggest what you can do to grow in your discipleship.

Where Are You In Your Faith Journey?

Exploring - You believe in God but are not sure about Jesus. Faith is not a significant part of your life.
Growing - You believe in Jesus and are working on what it means to follow Him
Close - You feel really close to Christ and depend on him daily for guidance
Christ Centered - God is all you need in your life. He is enough. Everything you do is a reflection of Christ.
