Before Chapter 1 begins, thereās Page 0 ā the quiet space before the story finds its words.
For me, this wasnāt where God spoke first.
Itās where I did. And what I whispered wasnāt holy or hopeful. It was honest:
āIām not worthy.ā
That whisper came from the weight of regret, from years of self-blame, from a heart that didnāt yet understand grace. It came before I could imagine that Heād already written me into His plan.
Before we move forward, I want you to meet yourself there ā in that quiet space.
This is where your story begins.
šŖ“ Your first assignment lives in the classroom.
Look for the worksheet called āPage 0 ā Before the Beginningā and give yourself permission to answer honestly.
This isnāt a test. Itās a reflection ā a place to name what youāve been carrying.
No fixing. No shame. Just truth.
Why the Pictures? Why the Verses?
Every image you see here is intentional. The artworkālike the tiny seedling paired with āRead: Romans 5:8āāisnāt just a design choice. Itās a visual starting point. A symbol of something small, raw, and hopeful taking root.
This journey is deeply personal. And it started with one question:
āWhere do I begin if I want to feel closer to God and understand why Iām even here?ā
I didnāt get that answer all at once.
It began with a verse. Then another. Then a moment of silence that turned into a breakthrough.
Thatās why Iām asking you to look the Scriptures up yourself. Donāt just read them in a feed. Donāt scroll past. Sit with them. Let them hit in the quiet places.
Romans 5:8 is a verse that shook something loose in me. I hope it does the same for you.
So, no ā this isnāt just about learning. Itās about healing. About discovery. About letting a new kind of growth begin, no matter what your roots have been through.
You matter.
And if youāre here⦠itās because He meant you too.
Letās start there. Together.
