Paul Turner of The Disciple Project Ministries donates this week’s Freebie Friday by providing a 3-part small group study he wrote for one of their Discipleship Camps. These lessons help students get past the surface of spirituality and journey towards the deep end of their faith. The sessions are:

1. Under Authority: Looking At What Lies Beneath
2. Under His Power: Making Decisions With God’s Help
3. Under Obligation: Using Your Gifts As the Giver Intended

Each lesson is packed with interactive ideas, questions and handouts. Paul uses the illustration of a pool to help move students from the shallow end to the deep end of the pool. It also comes with a 21 day follow-up plan called “Coming up for A.I.R.” and a resource page with further ideas and activities for teaching the lessons.

Send me your donations for review and if I publish them in a Freebie Friday, you’ll receive full credit, a link, lots of gratitude and a warm feeling inside that comes from sharing with others.
