About the Upward Expedition
It’s a journey from the man you are today…to the man God originally designed you to be.

Basecamp
Every great journey requires preparation. Basecamp is the place where we’ll pack our gear and make sure we have what it takes to make it to the top.
7
Peaks
Our journey will traverse seven spiritual “peaks” called ASSESS, AGREE, ALIGN, AFFIRM, ATTUNE, ADVANCE and ASCEND.

New Man
A successful journey will take you from the man you are today to the man God has wanted you to be from the day he created you.
The Trail Ahead…
Basecamp
Packing the essentials for the journey ahead: Misery, Willingness, Humility, Awareness and Acceptance
Peak #1: Assess
Every person on earth is broken in a spiritual sense. Our journey starts by ASSESSING where we are now and how we got here.
Peak #2: Agree
“There’s nobody living right…they’ve all taken the wrong turn, they’ve all wandered down blind alleys.” – Psalm 14:1 (MSG) To take this journey, we must AGREE to take God’s path moving forward.
Peak #3: Align
Our hearts have been malformed by our culture, our family systems and our own choices. Walking God’s path requires a REALIGNMENT of our hearts with HIS heart.
Peak #4: Affirm
Our thinking about ourselves, God and others has become out of order. We must learn the new skill of AFFIRMING who God says we are and how we relate to him and others.
Peak #5: Attune
God moves in subtle and mysterious ways that we aren’t often aware of. We must learn to ATTUNE to God’s heart and movements as we move through life.
Peak #6: Advance
Who is God calling us to become? What moves must we make in the face of fear and the obstacles ahead in pursuit of that goal?
Peak #7: Ascend
The last pitch towards becoming the man God designed you to be can be the most challenging. This is the final push to ASCEND to our destination.
The Descent: Live Your Life!
“The glory of God is man, fully alive.”
It’s ALL about Jesus
Our journey is designed to teach us how to have an intimate relationship with our Creator through Jesus Christ, his son and the Holy Spirit.
