I see The Journey serving as a kind of “greenhouse” for spiritual growth, where ideal conditions are provided for growth: supportive community, accountability to Bible reading and reflections, solid curriculum, mentoring, experiential learning, and an exploration of unique design. I have seen people embrace authentic community, find roles in the church and in the marketplace more in line with their God-given design, and respond affirmatively when invited into leadership positions.

The Journey [The VP3 Pathway] provides a language, a context, and a curriculum that helps us help our people explore the biggest questions of their faith.

Alice Shirey, Teaching Pastor at Orchard Hill Church in Cedar Falls, IA

There is no question, from my chair, The VP3 Pathway continues to be the means by which hungry people here are tasting the kingdom in a way they hadn’t before. These processes are helping us help adults climb through barriers and discover who they are … there are just breakthroughs happening in each person … connectedness, sharing, redefining what community in Christ really is. It’s been so rich.

Mike Lueken, Senior Pastor Oak Hills Church in Folsom, CA

VP3 provides the structure for great community and discipleship for a beginner to a long-term follower. What I have found out is this: VP3 helps to set the table. It’s a privilege for me to invite people and facilitate their growth!
