Opposition to My Growth

Teaching points

  • Spiritual growth meets temptation and resistance. Recognizing pressure points helps you respond with Scripture, prayer, wise boundaries, and trusted support.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • Ephesians 6:10–18
  • 1 Corinthians 10:13

Reflect

  • What situation regularly pulls you away from your stated commitments?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Make an if-then plan: when that pressure appears, what will you do and who can help?
