Becoming Good News

Reimagining Discipleship Through Identity, Story, and Science

There’s a story shaping your life. Is it the one God wants to tell?

Who you’re becoming in Christ can’t be measured by the titles you hold, the platform you build, or how much you “do” for Jesus. You’re not defined by the voices that tell you you’re not enough, you’re on your own, or God can’t be trusted. The story you’re made for is so much better than all of that.

In Becoming Good News, you’ll discover a neuroscience-based approach to discipleship that flips the script on the false narratives of achievement-based spirituality. Through biblical insight, cutting-edge brain science, and practical tools, Jessie Cruickshank and Julia Schmaltz will help you learn how to:

• Discover the five questions at the heart of every disciple’s journey: Who is God? Who am I? Who do I belong to? Who am I becoming? Who do I represent?
• Reimagine the discipleship framework as an embodied, relational process rather than a series of spiritual steps
• Learn how the good news of who you really are reveals Jesus to the world

It’s time to live free from the pressure to prove yourself and step into the empowering truth that you are already loved, already chosen, already sent. No matter your age, background, or where you are at in your spiritual journey, God is writing your story.
