We all know that frustrating feeling. You want to change, try to make a change, but fail to change. You know something needs to be different, but you keep finding yourself in the same cycle of starting, trying, and failing. The good news is that Jesus makes us new. Not through our own willpower, but with His help. Not through behavior modification, but through spiritual transformation. And usually not all at once, but through small, practical habits that He uses to shape us over time.
Jesus invites us to Stop. Slow. Start.
Give up your old way of life with its habits.
Each of you is now a new person.
You are becoming more and more like your Creator.
-Colossians 3:9–10
This guide is designed to help you stop what is moving you away from Jesus, slow down enough for Him to change you, and start habits that help you become more like Him. Inside, you will find interactive activities, practical strategies, and a habit tracker to help you get started. Work through it with your House Church, with a friend, or on your own.
