Rediscovering the Way of Jesus

De: Paul Durbin

For decades, we've demanded that people believe the right things and behave the right way before they can belong. Then we park them in seats as spectators. No wonder so many are walking away.

What if the church has been getting it backwards?

In The Anchored Path, Pastor Paul Durbin reveals a better way—the one Jesus actually modeled. Drawing from years of ministry in the US and China, Paul shows how Jesus consistently led with love, welcomed people before they believed, and called them to serve rather than sit.

Through compelling stories—from a skeptical friend on a snowy roof to an impromptu bathtub baptism—you'll discover four life-changing anchors that secure your spiritual journey:

BELONG: We're loved as we are before we believe.
BELIEVE: We turn from sin and turn toward Jesus.
BECOME: We're buried with Christ and raised to new life.
BELAY: We serve and assist others in their pursuit of God.

This isn't a new formula—it's the ancient path Jesus walked with his disciples. It's the difference between religion that exhausts and faith that restores. As Paul writes, "When we really see how Jesus looks at people—how He looks at us—everything else falls into place. Belief becomes a response to love, not a requirement for it. Transformation becomes the natural result of belonging, not the cost of entry."

Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, feeling disconnected from church, or longing for a more authentic spiritual life, The Anchored Path offers a refreshing return to the way of Jesus. With the warmth of a trusted pastor and the clarity of a seasoned guide, Paul invites you to rediscover what the early church knew: the path is not Believe, Behave, Belong, Be Seated. But rather: Belong → Believe → Become → Belay →

The Anchored Path never ends with you. It continues as you anchor others in the same Love that first found you. Help another start the journey. The Anchored Path awaits.
