Acknowledgments
My dear friend, Valyncia, you have inspired and encouraged me to continue to follow the Lord and always be my real self. Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in my God-given dreams. You have so much potential inside of you, and I hope God will give me a front-row seat to see all He is going to do through you. You are more than my friend—you’re my sister. Thank you.
Preface
What do I do now? Many new believers are faced with this question, and rightfully so. We teach and preach that we are sinners because we all have disobeyed God and receive forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ. Sharing that message is essential to the Christian life because Jesus commissioned us to Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
(Mark 16:15) The question is, what happens after you make a disciple and win a soul for the Kingdom of God? Do you pat the new believer on the head and say, Go forth, my child, and continue to trust in the Lord?
Or do you take the time to instruct that person in the ways of living the Christian life according to the Word of God?
This book will not exhaust all the questions that you may have about your new life in Jesus Christ, and it is likely you will have more questions as you read this book. The purpose of this book is to give a foundation on the fundamentals of living your life in Christ. Or as my dad would like to say, the basics.
Trust me when I tell you, there have been countless times in my walk with Christ when I had to go back to the basics
or the fundamentals. This book is not for those who have no heart to see sinners come to repentance or new believers excel in their new life as a child of God. This book is for every Christian who has ever wondered, What do I do now?
This book is for those who wish to mentor new believers but who also need spiritual guidance in teaching people from the Bible how to become effective and God-fearing disciples of Jesus Christ. If this describes you, then let’s get started!

This Is My Story
"N
o one loves me. My dad doesn’t love me. I am worthless and unworthy of love. No one will ever love me." The words flowed from my mouth. Like a waterfall, there was no end to how I was feeling inside. I was drunk and curled up inside a two-star-motel bathtub in Baltimore, MD, weighted down by ten years of accumulated sadness, loneliness, and feelings of worthlessness because of my father.
But it did not begin that way.
My father was an associate pastor at Liberty Church. People loved to come on Thursday nights and Sunday mornings to hear him preach. My father would preach so powerfully under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that the altar was always full of people ready to give their hearts to the Lord. Knowledgeable in the Word of God, my father taught me that the most important thing for a Christian was to love and fear the Lord.
When I was 11 years old and a few weeks before school started, my four siblings and I went to a Christian summer youth camp with the other children from our church. To say the least, I was not excited about spending the remaining weeks of summer
