Plum Creek Church: Message Audio
Changed lives, changing lives. At Plum Creek Church, these are more than just words on a wall. It’s why we’re here. It’s our mission to impact the valley of Castle Rock with the love of Jesus in tangible ways that lead others to know and follow him. At Plum Creek this mission is lived out in many different ways: From our weekend experience and live stream, our engaging kids and students' environments, and our connection-driven group settings; everything we do is pointed in the direction of life-change.

Plum Creek Church: Message Audio
Is your faith stuck in a try-harder loop? /// Follow: Part 5
We're so glad you've chosen to listen to our online experience! Here at Plum Creek, we’re all about changed lives, changing lives; and what that simply means is that what Christ has done in us is not just for us, but it’s for us to share with others in our community and around the world.

If you're using this teaching for a Home Groups setting, we've included discussion prompts to help guide your conversation:
1. When Pastor Eric described the “try-harder loop,” what parts of your own faith journey felt similar, and how might you begin shifting from trying harder to training intentionally?
2. Dallas Willard said, “Faith has failed to transform the character of most people because it is usually unaccompanied by a way of life like Christ himself practiced.” What specific rhythms or habits could help align your daily life more with Jesus’ example?
3. Read Romans 12:2. What would it look like for your mind to be truly renewed in the areas that most shape your thoughts or emotions this week?
4. Pastor Eric said that formation happens over time and through hard seasons. How can you view your current challenges as part of the Spirit’s slow work of transformation?
5. Look at James 1:2-4. How does this passage reshape your view of difficulty when compared with the idea that “the desert is the classroom where our faith grows”?
