Are you ready to embark on a transformative spiritual journey that perfectly aligns with your unique lifestyle and commitments? The 40-Day General Conference Challenge is here, offering you an incredible opportunity to deepen your connection to Jesus Christ through inspired teachings and revelations from our living prophet, apostles, and other church leaders (and the women leaders which messages always resonate with me). Designed with flexibility in mind, this challenge empowers you to engage in small and simple ways, making it accessible for individuals in various stages of life. Let’s dive into clear steps to prepare for this incredible study:
Steps to Prepare for the 40-Day Challenge
Step 1: Choose Your Floor, Stairs, and Ceiling
Embrace the “Floors, Stairs, and Ceilings” concept, a powerful framework introduced by Brooke Snow. Define your starting point – your “floor.” This could involve reading the talk titles, skimming summaries, or following daily slides on Instagram. The middle ground, or “stairs,” includes listening to talks during chores, reading daily slides, or engaging with the content while in the carpool line. Aim for your “ceiling,” where you read, listen, watch, and study each talk, recording your thoughts and revelations.
Step 2: Personalize Your Approach
Recognize that your journey is unique, shaped by your current season of life. Tailor your participation to suit your availability, preferences, and commitments. The beauty of this challenge lies in its adaptability.
Step 3: Set Intentions
Reflect on what you hope to gain from this experience. Whether it’s deeper insights, spiritual growth, or enhanced connection to Christ, clarifying your intentions will guide your engagement throughout the 40 days.
Step 4: Create a Daily Ritual
Incorporate the challenge into your daily routine. Dedicate a specific time each day – whether it’s during breakfast, a break, or before bed – to engage with the talks, whether through reading, listening, or watching.
Step 5: Utilize Technology
Use technology to your advantage. Subscribe to notifications for daily slides on Instagram, or the Gospel Library App that make it easy to access the talks.
Step 6: Document Your Journey
Consider starting a journal or digital document to record your thoughts, insights, and revelations as you engage with the talks. This will not only help you internalize the teachings but also serve as a record of your growth. You can always use the Gospel Library App to make notes about each talk. You can also purchase the 40-Day Challenge Study Guide to record notes and have reflection questions specific to each talk to ponder.
Step 7: Connect with Others
Sharing your experiences, insights, and challenges with others will help you create a greater spiritual connection. Interacting with the daily posts on Instagram and Facebook can also help increase learning.
Step 8: Embrace Grace
Remember that this challenge is not about perfection. Some days, you might only manage your floor, while on others, you’ll reach your ceiling. Be kind to yourself and allow for flexibility in your approach.
Step 9: Celebrate Your Achievements
Acknowledge and celebrate your progress along the way. Each step, whether small or significant, contributes to your spiritual growth.
Step 10: Invite Others
Share your journey with friends and family, inviting them to join the 40-Day General Conference Challenge and experience their unique path to creating greater connection to Jesus Christ.
