“Bootleg Christianity says that Jesus is a great addition to your life. There are things you need: you need a job, health care, relationships, and yes, you should add Jesus to that mix. But Scripture doesn’t give us that version of what faith and life is all about. It says you and I used to be dead, and now God makes us alive.” — Jordan Rice
Jordan Rice preaches on Ephesians 2:1–10 and warns against the kind of ‘bootleg’ Christianity that doesn’t recognize that we are dead in our sins.

We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.
Whether you’re longing to find a spiritual mentor or hoping to serve as a guide for someone else, we have a FREE resource to encourage and equip you. In Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Melissa Kruger, TGC’s vice president of discipleship programming, offers encouraging lessons to guide conversations that promote spiritual growth in both the mentee and mentor.
