RENEWED: Building Blocks - Block 7

Bible Study Building Blocks is a growing series of guided, Scripture-rooted studies designed to help us build a strong foundation with God, one connected piece at a time.

Each main Block focuses on an important area of spiritual growth. That Block is then explored through smaller, connected Parts, giving us room to slow down, study meaningful Scripture passages, reflect, write, pray, and take a next faithful step.

These studies are more than verse-of-the-day devotionals or generic reflection workbooks. Each day helps us engage the biblical text, understand what it reveals about God, notice the people, choices, promises, warnings, and patterns within the passage, and respond personally through prayer and faithful action.

We build across the series, and we build within each Block. Each Part gives us another piece of truth to study, hold onto, and begin living out.

About the RENEWED Study

RENEWED is Block 7 of The Next Faithful Step Series. This nineteen-Part Block invites us to recognize what is operating within us, return to God’s truth, explore what is underneath familiar patterns, expand our capacity to receive and respond, weigh what is leading, and carry the next faithful step all the way through.

Throughout the Block, we’ll explore renewal as an ongoing work of God that reaches our minds, hearts, choices, relationships, habits, and daily lives. Through Scripture, guided teaching, personal study questions, reflection, prayer, and practical next steps, we’ll learn how to slow down, notice what is shaping us, bring what we find before God, and respond from truth rather than pressure, fear, drift, or familiar reactions.

RENEWED also helps us understand that growth does not always move in a perfectly straight line. Sometimes God brings us back to a familiar truth because He is deepening it, strengthening it, or helping us live it at a new level. Returning is not automatically failure. The wheel keeps us moving, and the spiral allows growth to deepen as God continues the work He has begun.

The Block moves from recognition and honest exploration into truth, expanded options, wise weighing, preparation, execution, dwelling, remembrance, wisdom, and freedom. It concludes by helping us live from the truth, obedience, connection, and ongoing renewal God is forming within us.

Each Part is a complete five-day mini study and may be purchased separately. The Parts can be completed in order as one connected journey or selected individually according to the truth most meaningful for your current season.

Choose Your Part

Part 1: He Is Already Here

Begin with the steady truth that God’s presence is already with us. Learn to recognize His nearness before trying to solve, fix, manage, or move, and allow awareness of His presence to become the starting place for renewal.

Part 2: Recognize

Slow down and notice what is operating within you. Learn to recognize thoughts, emotions, reactions, desires, fears, pressure, and familiar patterns without rushing to judge, deny, or immediately act on what you find.

Part 3: The Wheel and the Spiral

Explore how growth can include cycles, repeated lessons, forward movement, and deeper returns. Learn to recognize when God is bringing you back to strengthen something rather than assuming every return means you have failed.

Part 4: Drift Into Sin

Study how drift can begin through small shifts in attention, agreement, desire, and direction. Learn to notice the movement before it becomes a settled pattern and respond to God’s truth while the way back is still clear.

Part 5: Return

Learn to turn back toward God when you recognize drift. Explore return as an honest, relational response that brings us back under His truth, His presence, His wisdom, and His lead.

Part 6: Explore

Look beneath the surface of what you recognized. Explore the thoughts, experiences, beliefs, fears, needs, and agreements that may be feeding a pattern so that truth can reach more than the outward reaction.

Part 7: Breadcrumbs

Learn to follow the light God gives one faithful step at a time. Notice the Scriptures, reminders, wisdom, counsel, convictions, and small directions He brings close enough for you to respond today.

Part 8: Name the Truth

Bring what you have recognized and explored before God, then name what is true. Learn to separate facts from assumptions, pressure from direction, and familiar inner agreements from the truth God has revealed.

Part 9: Expand

Make room for more than the first reaction, familiar answer, or limited option. Learn to expand your capacity to receive wisdom, consider faithful possibilities, and respond without allowing fear or urgency to narrow the way forward too quickly.

Part 10: Weigh

Examine what is leading your thoughts, choices, and next steps. Learn to weigh desire, fear, timing, pressure, counsel, consequences, responsibility, fruit, and Scripture alignment before deciding how to move.

Part 11: Convergence and the Weigh Station

Bring the pieces together and allow God to narrow, align, and confirm the next step. Explore the difference between gathering information and recognizing when truth, wisdom, timing, preparation, and direction begin to converge.

Part 12: Execute

Move from understanding into faithful action. Learn to define what done looks like, identify the next small action, prepare what is needed, complete the step, confirm completion, and carry obedience all the way through.

Part 13: Dwell

Remain with God before, during, and after the step. Learn to resist the urge to rush away once a decision is made and allow His presence, truth, and peace to continue shaping how you move.

Part 14: The Shepherd’s Way

Follow Psalm 23 and the care of the Shepherd through rest, restoration, guidance, protection, provision, goodness, mercy, and dwelling. Learn to recognize God’s faithful leadership throughout the whole journey, not only at the destination.

Part 15: Remembering the Journey

Look back with purpose and remember God’s markers, lessons, provision, warnings, corrections, and faithfulness. Learn how remembrance strengthens trust and helps guard against repeating what God has already revealed.

Part 16: The Word and the Spirit

Explore how God’s Word and the Holy Spirit work together to lead, guide, correct, strengthen, and empower us. Learn to remain rooted in Scripture while depending on the Spirit to help you understand, receive, and live the truth.

Part 17: The Spirit Gives. The Spirit Forms.

Receive what the Holy Spirit gives while allowing Him to form who you are becoming. Explore the difference between receiving gifts, help, strength, or direction and being steadily shaped in character, maturity, obedience, and fruit.

Part 18: Wisdom

Learn to live under God’s wisdom rather than relying only on your own understanding. Explore wisdom as truth received, understood, weighed, prepared for, and faithfully lived.

Part 19: Living Free

Bring the RENEWED journey together through truth, obedience, and connection with God. Learn to live from the freedom He is forming rather than repeatedly returning to the agreements, reactions, and patterns He has already brought into the light.
