Pray
Prayer is simply talking with God. You don't need impressive words. Come honestly.
When you're not sure where to begin, remember P.R.A.Y.
P — Praise
Thank God for who He is and what He has done.
R — Repent
Be honest about your sin and ask for forgiveness.
A — Ask
Bring God your needs, fears, decisions, and desires.
Y — Yield
Surrender your plans to God and ask Him to lead you.
Prayer isn't about mastering a formula. It's about growing in relationship with your heavenly Father.
Read the Bible
The Bible helps us know who God is, understand what He has done, and learn how to follow Him.
You don't need to understand the entire Bible before you begin.
Start with Jesus.
If you're new to Scripture, begin with one of the Gospels, such as John, and read a little each day. Before you read, ask God to help you understand what you're reading and show you how to respond.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
Psalm 119:105

Don't Follow Jesus Alone
Jesus calls us to Himself, and He brings us into a family of believers. When Peter confessed Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus responded, “I will build my church” (Matthew 16:16–18).
The church belongs to Jesus, and He is the one building it.
A healthy local church gives us a community where we can worship together, learn from God's Word, pray for and encourage one another, serve others, and grow in our relationship with Christ.
Being part of a church doesn't earn God's love or make us worthy of His grace. We belong to Jesus by grace through faith, and from that place of belonging, we learn to follow Him together.
If you're beginning your journey with Jesus, returning to faith, or simply don't have a church home, find a Christ-centered, Bible-teaching church where you can know others and be known.
You were never meant to follow Jesus alone.
Go From Attending to Belonging
A church becomes much more than somewhere you attend when you begin building relationships with the people in it.
Consider joining a small group, Bible study, men's group, or another gathering where you can pray together, learn Scripture, encourage one another, and share life.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Proverbs 27:17
Don't just attend. Get connected.
Build Your Daily Rhythm
Following Jesus extends beyond Sunday. Small choices can help turn your attention toward Him throughout the week.
Worship
Fill some of the space in your day with music that directs your attention toward God. Put worship music in the car. Listen while you work out. Start your morning with it. Let reminders of God's goodness compete with the noise constantly fighting for your attention.
Pay Attention to What Shapes You
What we repeatedly watch, hear, and consume influences what occupies our attention.
As you follow Jesus, begin paying attention to what is shaping your heart and mind. Look for entertainment and media that strengthen rather than compete with the person you're becoming.
