There are many different pathways that make up your journey. Think of a pathway as specific actions that help you grow. Some people might be naturally attracted to serving, while others enjoy learning about scripture or having theological discussions with others. Some of us are social people who find joy in being a part of a group gathering, or maybe experiencing the power of silent prayer and meditation is more your style.
