The Spiritual Growth Plan
ONE WOMAN AT A TIME
Planning your daily life around your spiritual priorities.
"Many years ago, I started developing this plan out of my own desire to grow spiritually as well as to fulfill the plans and purposes God had for me.
Up until that point, I had been haphazard about growing spiritually and realized that I put more planning into a week's vacation than I did God’s plan for my life. " ~Deanna
Spiritual Growth?
What is spiritual growth?
Spiritual growth is the process of becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. Once we place our faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit begins the process of making us more like Him, conforming us to His image. We then work with Him in this process. It's understanding these two principles:
God has a plan and purpose for your life. (Ephesians 2:10)
God instructs us to seek and ask for guidance. (Psalm 32:8)
When you combine the two, you have a Biblical principle that allows us to ask God to give us guidance concerning the plans He has for us.
Priority #1?
Make the decision to plan for your spiritual growth. This will need to develop into a mindset change. Understanding that this will not be easy, but will affect your life in ways you could never imagine.
Intentional?
Most women randomly choose their Bible studies, books, and devotionals, but this plan instructs you how to prayerfully seek God's plan in the specifics and then follow through with it. It is then you can start to see measurable growth in your spiritual life.
Galatians 5:25
"Through workshops, instructional videos, and a variety of other connections, I hope to share with you the process that has now become a new mindset and attitude toward planning for the upcoming year. Make the life-changing decision to join me in planning for SPIRITUAL GROWTH!"
What is the Spiritual Growth Plan?
The Spiritual Growth Plan is a prayerfully and Spirit-led process that we personally believe God is directing us to pursue. God has a plan and purpose for each individual believer (Eph.2:10). God tells us to seek His will, to ask Him for guidance, and to allow Him to lead us.
These were the truths from Scripture that God allowed Deanna to start merging together that evolved into a personal spiritual growth plan. She realized that she planned for so many other things in her life except this! Her spiritual growth. Since she had this mental shift years ago, God has enabled her to be much more intentional. She has accomplished things in her life that she would not have, had she not gotten intentional.
The goal is not necessarily to complete everything you set out to do, but to let the plan act as a guide for having a change of mind and heart in the particular area that God leads us to focus on, as well as to start placing our priorities in the proper Biblical order.
When do I start?
Start at the Spiritual Growth Plan Workshop in September. Deanna will share her wisdom learned from following the Lord through this plan and how this is still allowing her to serve our good God. There will be explanations and instructions that you will need for each step of the process, as well as resources to answer all of your questions. You'll be equipped to put your plan into motion for the upcoming year.
Where do I get the SGP?
The SGP is a plan with resources to help you develop through the plan of each year. You can pre-order any time during the year. The access to the online resources will happen on the day of the workshop and last until the end of the calendar year of the plan. Shipping of the accompaniment planner will only happen in the weeks prior to the workshop.
Who created the Spiritual Growth Plan?
Over the course of 10 years, The Spiritual Growth Plan was created by Deanna Bartlett because her desire was to grow deeper and to be intentional in her relationship with the Lord. As she started sharing what she had been using to see this happen in her life, a group of women blossoming under her guidance through this plan put it together in this reproducible format.
How do I do it?
With Grace! (you're not allowed to say you can't do it)
Everything should be covered in prayer. After praying and pre-ordering your Spiritual Growth Plan package, you will be connected to a variety of resources that include an explanatory workshop(in person or live stream), instructional videos, inspiring group talks, vetted resources, and supportive quarterly check-ins. At the end of each three-month quarter of the year, you will be invited to participate in an accountability meeting(mostly online) for encouragement, review, evaluation, and adjustment to your plan.
