The moment you accepted Jesus as your Savior, you became a member of God’s family. The apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 1 that through our faith in Jesus, we are adopted as sons and daughters. That means you now have an enormous family cheering you on, including me!

Perhaps that’s overwhelming. Maybe family hasn’t been something good in your life, or you fear the expectations other Christians will place upon you.

Take a moment and breathe.

One of the key pieces of information God wants to give you is this: Only His opinion matters. Yes, God will use other people and circumstances to help you along the way, but they should never take precedence over what God says.

That is why hearing God clearly is critical, and that is why I wrote this book.

Join me in learning more about what it means to be part of God’s family. Don’t worry. You don’t have to do this perfectly or know the answer to every question. Just take a step forward and turn the page.

We’ll get through these first steps together.
