so i’ve been in cga for almost three months, and let me tell you, don’t do cga. 

don’t do cga if you aren’t prepared to have your heart handed to you on a platter and dissected. 

don’t do cga if trying and failing over and over to build community isn’t your thing. 

don’t do cga if loving people you don’t like is too hard for you. 

if trying to drink from a fire hose is too overwhelming. 

if figuring out what you’re real priorities are isn’t important to you. 

if learning how to break agreement with lies and speaking truth over yourself is too much work. 

if making slow and methodical progress isn’t fast enough for you. 

if being vulnerable in front of people you met two weeks ago is too much too fast. 

if beating your head against a brick wall with all of your new self-revelations sounds exhausting. 

if learning how to lead yourself and practice self-control too difficult. 

if you would rather be spoon-fed information instead of discovering on your own. 

don’t do cga if you don’t want try and fundraise $5,950. (shameless fundraising plug) seriously, it’s so hard; after raising almost $16,000, just shy of six grand sounded easy. it’s not. to fundraise for cga, you really have to believe you’re worth investing in, that the slow, life-long process of being discipled is worth asking for peoples’ help. 

so don’t do cga if you don’t believe yourself to be worth the effort.
