The Path Forward

Centering Who We Are on Jesus

About this book

In a culture marked by confusion, polarization, and competing narratives, many Christians feel a quiet ache beneath the surface—a sense of drift, inconsistency, or even the loss of joy. They want to follow Jesus, yet the life they are living doesn’t always match the life they long for. The Path Forward offers a clear, practical, and deeply personal guide to rediscovering the way of Jesus in everyday life.

Drawing from decades of leadership experience, spiritual formation, and personal reflection, Monty Johnson explores how drift happens in the Christian life—and how clarity returns when Christians center their identity on Jesus rather than politics, culture, or performance. Through honest storytelling, biblical insight, and practical wisdom, he helps believers see how Jesus reshapes who his followers are, how they love, and how they live.

The Path Forward is not about programs or formulas. It is about becoming a certain kind of person: a disciple formed by the way of Jesus.

For anyone sensing a disconnect between the faith they profess and the life they experience, longing for a clearer sense of identity and truth, or seeking a deeper walk with Christ, The Path Forward offers a timely and hopeful road map back to the One who brings clarity, joy, and renewal.
