A Conversation About Guiding Principles

Live Your Life the Way You Want to Be Remembered

Do you ever wish you could more consistently live like the person you want to be? Do you struggle with putting your values into practice in the way you respond to people and situations in your life? Do you find yourself more reactive than calm and thoughtful when you are triggered and wish you could back up and try again?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we would like to introduce you to a powerful tool for transformation that can become a way of life. As a thank you for participating in our campaign and helping us make wholeness possible, we are offering an online course on developing and defining guiding principles at no cost for two weeks. In this self-paced, 3-part course, Ken Shuman shares how establishing guiding principles can help us respond calmly and thoughtfully to the anxiety-producing conversations and situations we find ourselves in and begin to consistently show up as our best self. Sign up now through Friday, November 15th to get the course for free.

The Impact of Anxiety

Have you ever stopped to consider how often you react to some unseen sense of threat? You might think about the last time someone cut you off in traffic. How did you behave? Have you thought about how much energy you spend being reactive rather than being proactive and intentional in life?

We would like to offer you an audio recording below from the archives of Faithwalking’s core teaching on anxiety and an introductory document with the fundamentals. We are always learning about anxiety and its impact on us and those around us. Our latest learning is reflected in Module 3 of Faithwalking Foundations.

Authenticity: A Tool for Transformation

In Faithwalking we believe that wholeness in every dimension of our lives is God’s intended design. Being authentic helps us get there; it is a powerful gateway to transformation and a key component of healing and wholeness.

In Module 2 (Overcoming Shame) of Faithwalking Foundations, we offer tools for practicing authenticity in our lives. In the video below, Trisha Taylor speaks about authenticity as a tool for transformation.

Jim Herrington – Faithwalking Reflections

Can you relate to these words from one of our participants? “There were a couple of key relationships in my life that it seemed like…I don’t know…God didn’t care about or God wouldn’t work in.” “I had just given up on ever seeing them change…” “We had been so stuck for so long….”

But her story doesn’t end there: “We had been so stuck for so long – and we’ve gotten unstuck. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I’ve gotten hopeful about what is possible if I keep doing the work.” “I just wanted to say thank you for Faithwalking. God is using it to change my life.”

Our founder Jim Herrington says that he hears stories like these all the time:

“I’ve been in ministry for 46 years. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve seen more deep life change in people’s lives in the 10 years I’ve been involved with Faithwalking than in all the other years of ministry combined. And that is worth celebrating and supporting.”

In the video below, Jim shares these stories and other reflections on the impact of Faithwalking through the years. He also offers his thoughts on our new Faithwalking Foundations curriculum: “In all of our experience, I can say with confidence that there is no better product or process than the Foundations courses that the Faithwalking team has developed.”

We are so grateful to Jim for all he has poured into Faithwalking and his encouragement as we move forward into the next phase in the life of this ministry.

Becoming a Master

As the Faithwalking experience unfolds, the conversation about mastery emerges. We have recognized that a fundamental aspect of our learning is the pursuit of mastery. We seek more than just knowledge of the key concepts and ideas in our work. We seek mastery!

Today we would like to offer you an audio file about becoming a master and a document created a few years ago that has been used by our coaches and facilitators to stimulate conversation about mastery, below.
