Reaching Beyond Mediocrity Discipleship 2 Level

Reaching Beyond Mediocrity

Discipleship 2 Level

Paul and Linda J. Bucknell
________________________

Reaching Beyond Mediocrity shows the path by which you overcome major areas of struggle in your life.

Here are some basic questions that most Christians ask but never get answered! We answer them here.

  • Why am I not spiritually growing anymore? What should I expect?

  • One area of my life holds me back. How can I break through this?

  • I want to grow but just do not know what to do next. What steps should I take?

  • I feel bad about where I spiritually am right now. I am not sure anything can help me. Should I feel this way?

  • I want to disciple others but do not know where to start or what to say. Can you make some suggestions?

  • I have heard how God blesses others through His Word, but it is not often that way with me. Are there any special things to help me grow in my quiet times with God?

Think of intermediate discipleship as the time one learns about how to rightly handle God's Word so that you can overcome temptation, big and small. It is a temporary stage. We learn the principles, adopt them and move onto maturity. That is God's plan!

The book's first four chapters show how a believer overcomes sin and then step by step illustrates how to use those same principles in the five next chapters. See below.

  • d2 levelsPossess God’s Peace: Overcoming Anxiety

  • Cling to Humility: Overcoming Pride

  • Embrace God’s Love: Overcoming Lust

  • Acquire God’s Patience: Overcoming Anger

  • Adopt God’s Hope: Overcoming Depression

The last chapter ends shows how to adapt these principles to overcome any area that you or others might be wrestling with. God wants all His children to grow including you! Many worksheets are provided to help implement these principles in people's lives.

Summary of Reaching Beyond Mediocrity

Reaching Beyond Mediocrity is designed not only to help you to overcome these life battles but enable you to share with others the process of how God does this.

This process is not meant to be a secret and does not cost anything. Through this process, the believer is revived, strengthened in faith, finds sufficient faith to encourage others to grow and testifies to God’s glorious ways.

Some believers will consider this incredulous, but these principles are rooted in scripture and seen worked out in life situations–like mine. Growing up in a terribly dysfunctional family, over my life I have battled all alone many kinds of problems like lusts, anger and pride. I have wasted most of my life learning the hard way.

Contents of Reaching Beyond Mediocrity

First four lessons instruct the biblical principles and approach to overcome temptation. The next five chapters illustrate how to use these principles on those issues. The last chapter helps share how to use these same principles on other struggles.

This book illustrates how to use these biblical principles to overcome and how to adapt them to every area of your life. None of us were meant to be young people forever. We are to grow into strong and mature believers. This material can easily be used for adult Sunday School or small group discussions.

About Paul!

Rev. Bucknell has much experience teaching and training Christian leaders and laymen around the world principles of disicpleship.

I have been married for more than 30 wonderful years and have the pleasure of fathering 8 children.

I am afraid this family would be an absolute wreck if it was not for God's amazing grace. He saved me when 12 years old but without any personal discipleship and a problemed home, I struggled with many sins and difficulties.

Over the years I learned how through God's Word to overcome these sins. He has step by step given me insight how to overcome them along with opportunities to prove them. I want to share these power but simple principles so that you like all believers do not spend most of their Christian life wasted away. God is there to make us strong. "You are strong!" (1 John 2:14).

Level 2 of discipleship was meant to grow out of. Have you yet so grown? He helps us so that our hearts are filled with praise.
