Overview of Life of Focus
Salvation is not the goal of the Christian life.
It is simply the beginning of it.
Life in Focus is about the pursuit of excellence in Christ. It is not about do-it-yourself techniques for
personal fulfillment or hyped-up motivational trategies. Rather, it focuses on growing in Christ and building the character and courage necessary to live effectively for Christ. Life in Focus presents ten biblical principles—or life skills—at the heart of spiritual maturity.
1. Build a strong foundation
2. Be on a mission and stay focused
3. Develop self-awareness
4. Take responsibility and initiative
5. Invest your time wisely
6. Commit to continuous learning
7. Be an effective thinker
8. Manage your emotions
9. Develop your communication skills
10.Build kingdom relationships
These ten principles are the life skills at the heart of spiritual maturity. They are spiritual disciplines
that give us the ability in Christ to effectively manage our thoughts, feelings, and actions as we respond to the ever-changing circumstances of life. Mastery of these skills -- not the circumstances we
face -- enables us to live as effective and fruitful agents of the kingdom of God. Energized by the
Holy Spirit and equipped with spiritual disciplines, we are empowered for effectiveness and fruitfulness in every area of life: at home, at work, in the community, and in the Church.
This 3-day certification workshop will prepare you to teach Life in Focus to the people in your ministry. We will carefully examine what the Bible has to say about each of the principles. The workshop
will equip you to equip people with the life skills at the heart of excellence in Christ.
