LifeShapes is not a program. It's a discipline -- a way to understand ourselves and our relationships with Christ and one another.

LifeShapes links the discipleship principles of Jesus to memorable images -- eight shapes. It forms the vocabulary that expresses the theology and daily life of a disciple of Jesus, painting a clear picture of what God intends to do in your personal life, in the church and in the world.

In Jesus' day, teaching was based on the oral tradition. People learned through storytelling and verbal teaching rather than reading texts. Today we're still visually oriented. Trying to convey aspects of discipleship through lists, principles and phrases does not work in our time. But LifeShapes provides a simple but powerful way to help you learn and to remember the principles of the Jesus-driven life.
