One of the most common questions that Christians ask is… how do I change? We all want to change, grow, develop, improve. And yet one of the most confusing and frustrating aspects to the Christian life is the process of growth.

This summer we are going to dive into one of the most helpful resources on the process of Christian growth: Deeper by Dane Ortlund. This resource will help us understand and apply the change we desire to see in our walk with Jesus. Below you’ll find a list of resources to help you engage with this book. We encourage you to dig in, grab a couple friends, and see how the Lord could use this summer to change you.

“You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
—2 Peter 3:17-18

Book and study guides are available at the Port City connect table each week for the duration of the summer.
