Training Tip:
Helping others take "growth risks". A growth risk is any action or statement, new or out of your comfort zone, that has a possibility of a negative outcome.
Growth risks are about life change - it’s not just trying ‘something new’ – it’s an authentic risk, but how do we do this?
Helpful Resources:
1. How to Read the Bible for all its Worth

This book gives you a feel for various genres of Scripture and how to go about interpreting them in the most appropriate and accurate way.
2. How to Read the Bible Book by Book

Zondervan, 2002
As above, but this particular volume is more in-depth by virtue of tackling each book of the Bible individually.

This is a more accessible book, but similar in content to the Fee and Stuart titles above.

- Colossians 1:28 - “…we present every person complete in Christ…”
- Hebrews 10:28 - “…let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds…”
Growth risks are about life change - it’s not just trying ‘something new’ – it’s an authentic risk, but how do we do this?
- 1. Clarify the issue
- 2. Help people discern a next step in growth (e.g. a new job, a new course, go on a date, opening up and sharing in the SG)
- 3. Encourage them to take the step
- 4. Follow up
