UP - Your connection to the Father.
As Jesus followers we start here, a place where identity is formed and you learn to know God for yourself. This can look like passionate worship, prayer (private & cooperate), stillness, sabbath, time in the word.
IN - The people you do life together with.
Jesus invites us to not live life alone but to have those whom we do life together with. This is where you grow and are shaped by community. This life-on-life growth is where discipling takes place. Specifically, these are relationships where you are authentic, open, and honest. This could be your family, friends, House Group, close co-workers.
OUT - Your love for the lost.
Jesus never lost sight of His Father’s vision, to reach out to a dark and dying world. That is the same vision God has for us. To reach OUT and love those around us into a relationship with Him. We do this by having a missional zeal in all we do! Often times this can be serving others, meeting needs, praying for those around you, knowing your neighbors, loving the poor, teaching, feeding, healing, and comforting.
