“So What Now?"

Taking the next steps after exploring moral relativism.
Moral Relativism Part 7 of 7

If you’ve made it this far, maybe you’re not just curious anymore.

Maybe something’s happening.

Not just in your mind—but in your gut. In your heart.
A sense that this isn’t just true. It’s personal.

So here’s the question no worldview course, moral argument, or apologetics debate can answer for you:

What do I do with this?

This isn’t about joining a church next Sunday or memorizing verses by next week.
It’s about what happens nowtoday—in the quiet space where ideas become choices.

And you don’t need a perfect plan.
You need a path.


Start With Surrender (Not a Spreadsheet)

You might be tempted to immediately build a system:
A reading list. A prayer tracker. A theology podcast marathon.

But Christianity doesn’t begin with productivity.
It begins with surrender.

Not “clean up and come in.”
Just “Come.”

You don’t need to fix your life.
You just need to stop pretending you’re your own foundation.

The first and most honest prayer you can pray is this:

“Jesus, if You are who You say You are… I’m Yours.”

That’s not weakness.
That’s where life begins.


Let the Word Rewrite the Script

If God has really spoken—through creation, through conscience, and finally through Christ—then you need to hear His voice directly.

That means opening the Bible.

Not as a project.
As a conversation.

Start with the Gospel of John. Just one chapter a day.
Let it confront you. Let it surprise you. Let it read you.

Don’t ask: “Do I agree with this?”
Ask: “What does this show me about Jesus—and how do I respond?”

You won’t understand everything. That’s okay.
You’re not studying for a test.
You’re learning to follow a voice.


Build a Rhythm Before You Build a System

What you need isn’t more information—it’s formation.

That means rhythms: daily, doable habits that keep you close to Jesus even when life gets loud.

Here’s a starting structure you can actually live with:

Daily (10–15 minutes)

  • Read one chapter of Scripture (start with John)
  • Pray honestly: thanks, confession, requests, silence
  • Write down one thing that struck you

Weekly

  • Take one day to unplug from digital chaos and just… be.
    Walk. Think. Breathe.
    Let your soul catch up.

Monthly

  • Reach out to someone wiser in the faith.
    Not to impress them. Just to ask:

    “Can we talk about this? I’m not sure what I’m doing, but I know I need this.”

It doesn’t need to be complicated.
It needs to be consistent.


Join the Story—Not Just the Argument

Christianity isn’t a set of ideas you believe in your head.
It’s a Person you follow with your whole life.

And that means stepping into a story.

If you believe Jesus is Lord, then you’re not just here to be right.
You’re here to be changed.

So…

  • Confess what needs to be confessed
  • Forgive what you’re still holding onto
  • Repent of what you’ve justified
  • Serve someone who can’t repay you
  • Love people who don’t deserve it

This is how you stop thinking about Jesus and start walking with Him.


You Don’t Need to Rush—But You Can’t Stay Here

This isn’t the end of a journey.
It’s the very beginning.

You don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need to respond to the One who is the answer.

So start small.
Start honest.
But start now.

Because Jesus is not an idea you add to your life.
He is your life.

The world doesn’t need more good opinions.
It needs people who walk in the light—and don’t flinch.

That can be you.
Not because you’re strong, but because He is.

Welcome to the way.
