How to be Unsuccessful is a six session video series with Pete Portal which will equip you and your community to explore what true success looks like for Christians.
“Am I doing enough? Am I on the right track?”
“When will I feel satisfied?”
“Does what I’m doing really matter?”
No matter what we achieve or how much we gain, ‘success’ can always feel out of reach. In the midst of our anxious and exhausted culture, Jesus invites us to redefine success on his terms. In the Kingdom of God, success is not about what we have but who we are becoming...
This small group video series based on Pete Portal’s book, How to be (Un)Successful, will help you and your community to explore true success, looking at the life and teachings of Jesus.
Every session comes with a video and downloadale discussion guide. Each video is around 15 minutes long and includes teaching from author Pete Portal and a round-table discussion with friends of 24-7 Prayer: Nkosinathi Mbuyazi, Vincynthia Daames and Natalie Maimane.
