Level Two Training
The Path: How to Understand and Experience Authentic Spiritual Growth
This book is the textbook that partners with the Stages of Faith workbook and targets those who want to be different and make a difference. The final chapter of The Path proposes five vital steps for leadership to consider as they guide the growth of people in different stages of spiritual development.
Three Staggering Observations
Our research shows that followers of Christ will often find some vital aspects of the Childhood stage of faith that they have ignored or neglected, delaying their progress. And too many believers will plateau and stall—some permanently—in the Young Adulthood stage of faith, in a borrowed, secondhand, and conforming faith. Then, sadly, there is a shortage of full-grown Parents in the faith who are seasoned and whole and can provide skilled guidance to others.
The ongoing spiritual development of followers of Christ is paramount to having your church, small groups, disciple-making or mission organization become a center of spiritual growth and a training ground for genuinely transformed leaders and Parents in the faith. That’s what the priority of Jesus’ Great Commission is all about!
Note to Pastors
You can provide the vision and strategy for your ministry relying on the Stages of Faith model: How are you nurturing the congregation as they journey through these stages and milestones? What are the strengths of your church? In what areas are they weak? What are you intentionally doing to produce healthy Children, Young Adults, and Parents in the faith? What changes in strategy do you need to make to help people avoid getting stuck?
Stages of Faith Ministries provide advanced Coaching and consulting with churches, disciple-making and mission organizations, church planters, and Christian counselors to equip leaders to become competent in understanding and making use of Stages of Faith and The Path. We also offer seminars and teaches in areas of spiritual formation related to his Stages of Faith model.

“Wow!!! Transformational, emotional, educational, inspiring and engaging. Stages of Faith has been that and much more. Stages provided a venue to grow in Christ while truly being transparent with other men. The experience has helped me to grow closer to the brothers in the program. It has truly been life changing.” - Rodney W
