CounterfeitSample

We all carry stuff; not just our schoolbooks or our sports gear. We carry heavier stuff: the emotional things that weigh us down and thoughts in the back of our head that say we aren’t enough, we’re unlovable, or that we won’t amount to anything. We remain quiet about these things because we are scared no one else has ever had the same thoughts, or that somehow we’ll get in trouble. But God wants us to have the sort of friendships where we can choose to be vulnerable and open up to someone about stuff that matters.
This week, if you feel like you are burdened by something, start thinking about what it looks like to talk with your Small Group Leader or another trusted adult about what you’re going through.

About this Plan

We know that anything of value probably has a counterfeit version out there. The same is true for our faith. Maybe copying the behaviors of other believers was a great place to start your faith journey, but how can we move beyond copying Christians to following Jesus? How do we make our faith our own? The difference between a counterfeit faith and an authentic faith is growth and heart change.
