Nothing I’m doing this summer is more exciting to me than the August kick-off of a brand new Digging Deep study. The study is now in the hands of the designer and will soon be traveling to be printed. It’s so very different from the current study in remarkable ways, but I will promise that, if anything can make you more hopeful in despair, than the current study, it’s the upcoming study. I’d like to ask the Diggers to do three things.
- Pray about the study’s completion through every part of the process.
- Invite those who need the good news of Christ or who know the news, but have never submitted to Him. Start assembling your groups, both in-person and via Zoom or FB live!
- Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 15th to help us spread the word! The reveal happens live at 1:15 in Sevierville at Polishing the Pulpit. The reveal will come to the Digging Deep Facebook page and to www.thecolleyhouse.org within minutes of that time.
I need this study. I say that each year. Perhaps I need the studies each year because there is, of necessity, an address of my own weaknesses in the work as it progresses. I just know that, when it is finished, it’s full of what I need, practically, to be better for Him. But the funny thing is, the Word of the Spirit is so powerful that it cannot convict me without also reaching others–even others whose needs may seem very different from mine.
One digger recently said this:
To study & see these connections…how something so common in our human life is used to teach us so much about God and our relationship with Him… every time I study I find these pearls that continue to build my faith.
She is just so right.
The Word! It is what it is!
The Spirit! He is who He is!
