How It Works

A Clear Path Through Any Struggle

Step-by-step biblical help for any struggle.

The 6 Phases of CHANGE

Each phase prepares you for the next.

  1. Phase 1 of 6

    Consider the Truth

    See the struggle as God sees it. God speaks to our problems, and we must learn what He has to say.

  2. Phase 2 of 6

    Humble Your Heart

    For sin, godly sorrow. For suffering, honest lament, pouring out your heart to God as we see in the Psalms.

  3. Phase 3 of 6

    Acknowledge and Confess

    Confess your own sin to God, without excuse, resting on Christ’s forgiveness. In suffering, only your own sinful responses, never what was done to you.

  4. Phase 4 of 6

    Nourish Your Soul

    Set your heart on Christ, and on the promises that belong to all who are in Him.

  5. Phase 5 of 6

    Grow in Wisdom

    Renew your mind with God’s word, and trust God’s wisdom even when He hasn’t answered all of your questions.

  6. Phase 6 of 6

    Endure in Righteousness

    Put off the old, put on the new, by His grace. And keep going.

Sin and Suffering

Some of what we carry is sin to turn from. And some of what we carry is suffering we need to trust God with. Usually, it’s both. Every struggle in Change Pathways has its own path through the 6 phases of CHANGE, shaped for sin and suffering. Suffering is never treated as sin, and sin is never treated as suffering.

Before the Pathway Begins

On your own pathway.

Answer a few questions and describe what you’re facing. Choose where to start from suggestions provided. Read the gospel and answer a short check-in. Then begin Phase C.

With a counselor or pastor.

Every counselee record walks you through the 6 Gs: Gain relationship, Gather information, Guard from danger, Get a gospel foundation in place, Guide to change, and Graduate. A Change Pathway opens after you get to know the person in your care, ensure their safety, and share the gospel with them.

Built for Believers, Open to Anyone

The gospel runs through every step. It’s set plainly before each person before a pathway begins, and applied in relevant ways at every step.

What It Is, and What It Isn’t

Change Pathways is biblical help and a clear process. It isn’t a cure, and it doesn’t replace your church, your pastor, a counselor, or a doctor. It works best alongside them.

One Tool, as Shown in the App

Every pathway works like this: a clear biblical goal. Then Scripture, an honest question, and a practical step to help you pursue that goal.

From Change Pathways · Worry

Phase C · Consider the Truth

Seeing Worry before the Sovereign and Faithful God

Isaiah 46:9–10
Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’

Think it through

In Isaiah 46:9–10 God declares the end from the beginning and says His purpose will stand. How does His word silence the fear that your life is spinning out of control?

This week

Set the Fear before His Purpose: Read Isaiah 46:9–10 aloud each morning this week. Beside the fear you named in Assignment 1, write what the passage says God does that your worry has been trying to do.

In the app, you write your answer and what you did here, and they stay private to you.
