If you don’t know what the heck this post is about, you are far-far-far behind. Andy Stanley, Pastor of North Point Community Church, just finished one of the best message series on faith that I have ever heard.

Taken from mere observation of the Christian journey, Andy presented 5 key things that God uses as a catalyst to grow our faith.
Talk about a message series worth buying for a close friend, a family member, a new believer, or a co-worker. These messages have helped to clear up a lot of ambiguity and questions concerning my faith in God. Many of us have experienced at least one if not all five of these things that God uses to grow our faith in some way.

But Catalyst is more than a conference – it purposes to serve as a leadership filter, continually providing relevant training, innovative events, and cutting edge resources for the leaders of the Church.”
