Faith Mountain - The Climb

---

Before we can begin the climb up Faith Mountain, you will need to get the official guide book - The Bible.  You will be reading it every day, and you cannot get up the mountain without it.  There are many different versions of the bible.  If you don't have one, you may be able to get one from a family member, friend or from a local church.   

Another important aspect to climbing Faith Mountain is attending church every week.   The mass is when we dedicate time to worship God, give thanks to God, continue to grow our faith in God and form a relationship with other believers.  When choosing a church, prioritize finding a community where you feel welcomed, can actively participate in the sacraments, and where the preaching aligns with your understanding of the Catholic faith; essentially, look for a church where you can grow spiritually and feel connected to other believers through shared values and practices. 

Prayer is  communicating with God.  All good relationships require open and daily communication.  The more you pray, the more you will grow in faith with God.  There is no one right way to pray, but there is one wrong way - when you are not praying at all.  

Living an inspired life means finding meaning in your life and using it to positively impact others.  These may involve being a role model, being open to new experiences, practicing gratitude, nurturing relationships, giving back, being resilient and being creative.   While you strive to live inspired, you will also be inspiring others.  Inspiration is a reciprocal force, so by inspiring others, you can also be inspired. 

Some ways to find inspiration include: Getting physical activity, Approaching a narrative from a different perspective, Speaking to people and sharing ideas, and Watching a movie.   Use the link below to enjoy some inspiration to help you on your journey.

Through our experience, we find that there is great benefit in being part of a team when climbing Faith Mountain.  While the journey of faith can be a very personal and individual, there are many benefits to being part of a team.  We encourage you to reach out and invite some others to join your hiking team.  This will give you an opportunity to discuss your daily experiences and also help others start their own journey of faith.   You can also spend time praying together.  

If you cannot find any others to join your team, don't let that deter you.  We provide you with a lot of team members beginning with you and the Lord.  You will also meet many new team members on your journey.

Before getting started, we encourage everyone to say goodbye.   Go and look in the mirror and say goodbye to the old you.   You will no longer be seeing that person in the mirror.  And when climbing Faith Mountain, we recommend that you use a small backpack just for the essentials.  If you have accumulated a lot of unnecessary, heavy and old baggage over the years, this journey of faith will help you determine what to do with all of it.
