Who is the pathway for?

Anyone exploring or following Jesus. You can begin with questions about faith, build new rhythms as a believer, deepen your walk with Jesus, or grow in helping others follow Him.

Do I need to start at the beginning?

Not necessarily. We’re all at different places in our journey of following Jesus. Start with the opening pages of the Guidebook to understand the Pathway and identify where you are right now. Then skip ahead to your stage and explore the next steps that can help you keep growing.

How long does it take?

There’s no deadline. Some steps take weeks or months; others keep shaping you for a lifetime. Move at a pace that lets you put what you’re learning into practice.

Can I use the guidebook with someone else?

Yes. Read a section with a friend, spouse, mentor, or small group, discuss what stands out, and encourage each other as you take your next steps.

Is there a digital version?

Yes. You can open the full guidebook on your phone, tablet, or computer using the digital guidebook links on this page.
