Going through Journey New Life in Christ was such a meaningful experience for me. It gave me the opportunity to grow deeper in my relationship with Jesus, but it also introduced me to people who were walking that same journey of faith. When Journey ended, we realized we didn’t want the relationships we had built to end with it. We wanted to keep meeting, praying together, and supporting one another in our faith. That’s what led us to continue as a small group. For me, small group has been a reminder that we’re not meant to live out our faith alone. Journey brought us together, and continuing to meet has allowed those friendships—and our faith—to keep growing.
