A simple step to the right

The identity triangle is a powerful tool in helping disciples understand how to work from rest.  One of our big challenges is to rely on grace rather than self effort.  What happens when we don't is a feeling of exhaustion and failure because we can't "do it all right".

When you hear that in your huddle go to the "identity triangle":

Here's how a simple step to the right can help:

1. If they are struggling in obedience...it is likely tied to their identity.  Help them see they are fully acceptable in Christ.

2. If they struggle in their identity...it is likely tied to their understanding of God.  Do they see God as a harsh task-master?  Can they see Him as their caring Abba?

A lot of the challenges your people face will stem from one of these two things.
