A New Book from Steve & Colleen Adams

There’s More to the
Christian Life Than
You’ve Been Taught

A deeper invitation into healing, identity,
and transformation through the Way of Jesus.

What if the gospel you received was true—but incomplete?
What if freedom isn’t found in trying harder, but in becoming whole?

Embracing the Way invites you into a journey beyond performance,
beyond surface-level faith, and into the life Jesus actually offers.

Embracing the Way

Why Does Faith Still Feel So Hard?

You love God. You believe the truth. But something still feels… off.

  • You feel stuck in cycles you can’t break
  • You know the right answers, but don’t experience real change
  • You carry wounds that haven’t healed
  • You’re exhausted trying to live the Christian life “correctly”

You’re not alone. And you’re not the problem.

What if the issue isn’t your effort—but the framework you’ve been given?

This Book Will Change How You See Everything

Embracing the Way is not about trying harder. It’s about stepping into the life Jesus actually modeled and made available.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • Why behavior change alone never leads to transformation
  • How your identity—not your performance—shapes your life
  • The role of healing in genuine spiritual growth
  • How to move from striving to abiding
  • What it truly means to walk in freedom
This isn’t a new message.
It’s the message of Jesus—recovered.

Meet Steve & Colleen Adams

Steve and Colleen Adams are the founders of Embracing Brokenness Ministries, a movement dedicated to helping people experience true healing, identity, and transformation in Christ.

Through their podcast, teaching, and work in prisons, churches, and communities, they’ve walked with thousands of people navigating brokenness, shame, and spiritual disillusionment.

Their story began with two parallel journeys of restoration—both arriving at the same surrender: “I want to be well.” But God had even bigger plans.

You don’t need to fix yourself.
You need to experience the restoring love of God.

What Others Are Saying

I’ve worked with some of the most gifted communicators in Christian publishing—NYT bestsellers, global voices, people with something real to say. What Steve and Colleen have written is more than a book. It’s an invitation and a path. This message is urgent, it’s personal, and it’s going to change lives.

Embracing the Way is a beautiful invitation back to the heart of what it means to follow Jesus. With honesty and grace, Steve and Colleen guide readers into a deeper understanding of identity, healing, and the kind of faith that transforms us from the inside out.

Yowza. I needed to read this book. I’ve walked with Christ for decades and spent years writing and speaking in His name. But these pages helped me recognize how easily I slip into autopilot, doing meaningful work without fully surrendering it to God’s glory. That awareness is restoring something deep in me—both in my relationship with Him and in my ministry. You might need Embracing the Way, too.

Most books on faith focus on what you do. Embracing the Way dares to focus on who you are. Steve and Colleen Adams have written a terrific guide to the inner work of the gospel—the kind that transforms not just your habits, but your heart. If you want your life and work to truly reflect Christ, this book will help.

I wore a wire for the FBI for three years and spent eight and a half years in federal prison. I know what it means to hit rock bottom and discover that God was already there waiting. Steve and Colleen understand that healing isn’t a program—it’s an encounter. This book captures what I’ve tried to say from every stage I’ve stood on: real transformation only comes through a real relationship with Jesus Christ.
