Sacred Pathways

Gary Thomas reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God and understand and appreciate the potentially different tendencies of those you love.

This Study Guide with DVD includes:

• Five video teaching sessions from author Gary Thomas on DVD
• Streaming video access to all five sessions
• Discussion questions, reflection questions, and a personal assessment test to discover your pathway
• Personal Bible study for between sessions
• A guide with best practices for leading groups

As believers in Christ, many of us today fall into the trap of thinking we have to approach God in a certain way. This one-size-fits-all mentality typically leaves them feeling frustrated and distant from God. But the truth is that not every person will engage with God in the same way. For this reason, it is important to discover the particular pathway that will best help them to experience God’s presence.

In this video-based Bible study, Gary Thomas describes nine spiritual temperaments and—like the Enneagram and other personality assessment tools—provides tools for participants to assess your key pathway and encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. Thomas will help you discover the traits, strengths, and tendencies in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise.

If your spiritual walk is not what you''d like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you:

• How you best relate to God and develop new ways of drawing near to him
• Key biblical figures who share your spiritual temperament
• How to evaluate your time with God
• How to understand others who have different spiritual temperaments
