LEAP OF FAITH RESOURCES

Welcome to the Leap of Faith Resource Page. Here you will find additional resources to help you partner with us on this faith journey.

If you're new to this site, you might be asking the question "What is the Leap of Faith?"

Every year we like to set aside some time as a special season of taking on faith experiments together. This Leap of Faith is often an exciting time of seeing God at work in unexpected ways, in the lives of individuals and for our community as a whole. We usually find our faith stretched. We see many amazing answers to prayers. And we often find that the Leap of Faith sets the tone for the rest of the year in our pursuit of faith in God.

With that said, I highly recommend starting by reading the User's Manual, which has an in depth description of what this year's Leap of Faith is all about. You can download it here:

For those who are interested, we also offer a companion Bible Guide for this faith experiment. Everyday during these six weeks, there will be a new post titled "God and the Nations. A Daily Bible Guide." Here's what this post is all about:

God and the Nations. A Daily Bible Guide -- The Bible has many authors and is the compilation of over 1600 years of stories of people relating to God. For thousands of years, individuals and religious groups around the world have used these stories as a way to try and connect with God. Brian Housman (our resident 'Bible Expert') kindly offered to compile a Bible Guide for our faith experiment. The Bible Guide can be a fun way to discuss these stories together, while also providing some structured guidance in prayer and connection with God. If you want to participate in the Bible Guide portion of the blog, I highly recommend reading Brian's Introduction:

As you know, Dave is also a pastor at the Great Boston Vineyard and is running this year's Leap of Faith in that community as well. Every Sunday for the next 6 weeks Dave will be giving a talk related to this year's faith experiment. If you're interested, you can listen to them here:
