Series Overview
Lesson One – Back to the Garden
Do you ever feel like your spiritual life and your practical everyday life are two different things? They were never meant to be. God’s original design was one life — enjoyed, productive, and shared with Him. That is what God and Adam enjoyed before the fall and in this lesson we go back to the beginning to discover that life is still available to you today.
Lesson Two – Receiving God’s Gifts
Do you ever feel like life is so busy that your walk with God gets left out? In this lesson we discover that the very things keeping you busy — your work, your relationships, and even your daily meals — are gifts from God to be received, enjoyed, and shared with Him. Your spiritual life and your practical life are meant to be one continuous life shared with God.
Lesson Three – Enjoying God’s Gifts
God designed you to enjoy your home, your family, creation, and the beauty of the world He made — and to share every moment of it with Him. Just as God designed Adam to share life with Him in the garden, we discover in this lesson that enjoying God’s gifts is not separate from your walk with God — it is your walk with God.
Lesson Four – Abounding in God’s Gifts
Jesus gathered twelve men and shared everyday life with them — and those relationships changed the world. God designed us to abound through the people, the resources, and the gifts He places in our lives. Just as Adam was given everything he needed to abound and share life with God, in this lesson we discover that family, friendships, and church community are gifts from God that cause us to abound in real life as we share it with God.
Lesson Five – Loving God and His Gifts
This lesson is specifically for those who feel guilty or frustrated about their devotion time. God designed your relationship with Him to be a continuous conversation woven through every moment of your day — thanking Him over a meal, talking to Him on a drive, meditating on a verse while you work. In this lesson we discover that a life shared with God is the most natural and fulfilling devotion there is.
Lesson Six – Living My R.E.A.L. Life Every Day
This is the lesson where everything comes together. God designed one life — received, enjoyed, abounding, and shared with Him in every moment. In this lesson we bring it all together into a practical and personal vision for what your R.E.A.L. life actually looks like. No more guilt or frustration about our spiritual life. Just you, God, and the life He always designed for you to enjoy together.
