I created this blog to replace and supplement emails that I had sent out over a period of 10 years or so.  Those began primarily as a means of sharing what God was showing my own heart with close brothers in Christ around me.  My writings will always be from this perspective – I will never share a message to others that God has not first shared/challenged my own heart with.  My hope for this blog is that it would be a place of rest and encouragement in God.  My own story is one of wandering from God and God’s redeeming work in my own heart and life.  I am not a vocational pastor, I’m just one broken sinner, telling other broken sinners where they can find life and joy in Jesus.  I have become convinced of this, that there is no good in me apart from God in me, and that the greatest joy we can have in this life and beyond is to follow Jesus.  In the early new testament church, Christians were called “Followers of the Way”, which is where this blog’s title comes from.

I do have a conviction to share that nothing should ever take the place of the church that we should all belong to, the pastors/elders that we should be submitting to, and the people of God we are called to love and serve through our local church.  So my hope is that this would only be supplemental to what each of you are participating in there, but do know that if you are reading anything here, you have been prayed for, and I do hope that God uses these messages to grow your affections for Him.
