As we journey through life, transitions are inevitable. They represent moments of change and evolution, taking various forms like moving to a new city, changing careers, experiencing the loss of a loved one, or perhaps, spiritual growth. Understanding how Jesus Christ approached and taught about transitions provides a profound Biblical perspective on how to navigate these inevitable life stages.
As only Pastor Hutchins can, he expounds on the dangers of trying to transition to a "new level" with an old mindset. Too often, this is the dynamic that leads people into a crisis rather than into opportunity. The importance of having our mindset align with the level we seek to transition to is embodied in Jesus' parable of the new wine in old wineskins.
Applying this to life transitions, when we seek to change aspects in our lives so that we are positioned to arrive at new levels of understanding, which bring new levels of experiences, we must do so with a new calibrated mind. We cannot cling to old ways of thinking, or we won't be able to comprehend our new opportunities - the opportunities we desperately seek.
When we position ourselves with a willingness to learn, to grow, to mature, and to evolve, our mindset expands and there, we learn the art of turning potential crisis into opportunities for growth and discovery.
