Faith Reading Path
This path is about building a faith that can carry weight. Faith isn’t inherited, outsourced, or sustained by feelings alone—and when the foundation is shallow, everything built on it eventually cracks. This path is designed to strengthen your understanding of Scripture, sharpen your worldview, and form the kind of conviction that stands firm with humility and courage. These books are not for passive Christianity; they are for those willing to be challenged instead of comforted, to seek truth instead of affirmation, and to grow in conviction without growing cold. We live in a time when many believers struggle to explain what they believe, let alone live it out—and that weakness never stays private. If we want stronger homes, stronger leaders, and stronger communities, we need deeper faith. Read slowly, read prayerfully, and let truth shape not just how you think, but how you live.
Faith Path: Getting the Big Picture
Every journey needs a starting point. For our Faith Path, that starting point is the Bible itself—and not just pieces of it, but the whole story.
The first book we’re going to walk through together is Fly Through the Bible. I really love this book because it does something most of us don’t often get: it gives you the 30,000-foot view. It helps you see how everything fits together.
Instead of jumping straight into individual passages or isolated verses, this book walks through the Bible as one unified story. It starts with key people—Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, Ezra—and then shifts to the life of Jesus: His birth, temptation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. From there, it focuses on what every believer has been given: the Holy Spirit, faith, forgiveness, the Church, and heaven.
That structure matters. When you understand the flow of the story, Scripture stops feeling fragmented. Things start to connect. You begin to see why the Bible says what it says—not just that it says it.
This is a newer book for me. I started reading it in 2025 and immediately thought, This is the right way to start our faith journey. We’ll work through all 15 chapters, moving at a steady pace—about three to four chapters a week. I’ll share observations, ask questions, and help highlight key ideas along the way to help deepen your understanding.
We’ll launch each week’s material on Friday mornings, giving you the weekend to dig in. The chapters are short, readable, and approachable—you can make real progress without feeling overwhelmed.
And this is just the beginning. After this, we’ll move into The Mark of a Christian by Francis Schaeffer—one of my favorite thinkers—and then Mere Christianity, which remains one of the most important books ever written on the Christian faith. Along the way, I’ll also point you toward other works from C.S. Lewis that are worth your time, whether you’re reading for yourself or introducing these ideas to your kids.
So that’s where we start.
Not with opinions.
Not with arguments.
But with the story itself.
Let’s get the big picture first—then build from there.
