Spiritual Pathways 101 page 3 by ric gustafson
The time was 6:00.
" Let's get started" Mr Freeman said as he wrote something on the board. " I would like you to get into a small group of four people". He watched as everyone moved their chairs around. " Amanda, how do feel when you are in a group compared to being by yourself?".
" Mr Freeman, I feel safer and more loved".
He smiled and wrote on the board. " That is the reason for a Relational Pathway".
" What do you mean Mr Freeman?".
" We feel a deeper sense of God when we are in significant relationships such as a small group". " Jesus said that when two or three are gathered in his name, he is in the midst of them".
" So Mr Freeman, this pathway could occur here in this classroom".
" Yes, or at a baseball game or on an elevator or at a little league game". He smiled at the students. " Whereever two or more are gathered".
