Managing Transition-Making the Most of Change

Leave a Comment  

Making the most of changes and managing transitions in our lives is often a difficult thing to do, but essential if one is to prosper in this life. How do you manage transitions in your life? Life’s transitions and changes can be a great opportunity, but also a threat.

Managing Transitions as Singles

If you are having a rough go managing transition and making the most of change, you are not alone. The fact is singles go through more life changes and transitions than married folks in the areas that cause the most stress units in a person’s life: relationships, job changes, parenting adjustments and moving residences.

We all know the pressure involved in living alone as Christian singles, but what makes managing transitions and making the most of changes is that sometimes the change is not by our choice. It’s much easier to deal with change and transitions if the choice was ours. But how do we manage involuntary transitions like a relationship breakup or termination in such a way that we make the most of the changes in our lives?

Hope for Managing Transitions and Making the Most of Life’s Changes

In our church podcast of the week, Pastor Joseph Velarde, of the Journey Church located in Jersey City, NJ, discusses how to biblically manage transitions while making the most of changes going on all around you. Sounds good?

Do you have something to share about managing transitions and making the most of changes in your life?

What can beat that?
