Synopsis

Feeling kind of stuck in your faith walk? You are not alone.

Introducing My Next Step: A How-To Companion for People who Want to Follow Jesus (But Sometimes Get Stuck).

We know we are supposed to be followers of Jesus ... But how? What does it even mean to “follow” Jesus in today’s world? What attitudes and habits help you take a small next step, and then another, and then another? What do you do if you get off track?

The My Next Step series provides real help for real people who want to follow Jesus, but sometimes get stuck. In these pages, you won’t find the secret formula that makes faith easy. You won’t find three sure-fire tips for tackling doubt. You won’t even find the one right way to improve your relationship with Jesus. Instead, you'll find a gracious framework for following, laid in love, with practical, real-life faith experiments that help you explore ways you might take a small next step.

Maybe this is your first go-around taking your faith walk seriously. Or maybe you have been at this for years (decades?) and are looking for a helpful pattern to reset your personal discipleship experience. Whether you are brand new to faith in Jesus or a veteran of the ups and downs of following, this book is for you.

Packed with humor, insight, real to life theology, and an assortment of faith experiments, Volume 1: Getting Started gives you a great place to begin (or begin again, for the hundredth time). Jesus is not in a hurry. Jesus loves you, and loves spending time with you. And Jesus is faithful; he won’t leave you alone to figure this out all by yourself.

Self-improvement makes following Jesus a burden; and burden is the enemy of faith. One of the best ways to flip the script on burden is to catch an attitude of adventure. Adventure thinking is less focused on your personal success or failure and much more interested what the Spirit of Jesus is doing, in you and in the world around you.

As you discover and focus on what Jesus is up in your life, you will end up growing in your faith and faithfulness—you will advance and improve—but almost as an afterthought. All along the way, My Next Step offers encouragement, grace, and the freedom to try, because Jesus has got you covered, no matter what.

Jesus promises to meet us in his Word and to be our companion on the way. Jesus also seems to think that, unless you desperately need him in a regular, ongoing kind of way, you don’t yet understand what grace means, or what faith looks like, or how the Kingdom of Heaven works.

Desperately needing Jesus all the time—that’s what faith is all about. In fact, one of the best ways to describe discipleship is simply this: discipleship is growing more and more in the understanding of how much you need Jesus all the time, for absolutely everything. The prayers, faith experiments, and Scripture readings in these pages put an ongoing dependence on Jesus front and center.
