Walking the Narrow Road: A Year with The Pilgrim’s Progress
Every journey begins the same way. A stirring in the heart. A question that will not quiet. A sense that God is calling us forward. That is where Christian stood in Bunyan’s story, and that is where many of us stand today.
This series is our pilgrimage together. Week by week, we will walk through The Pilgrim’s Progress with an open Bible and open hearts. We will learn how Christian’s story mirrors our own, how grace meets us in every valley, and how the narrow path forms us into people who follow Christ with clarity, courage, and joy.
Bunyan wrote his masterpiece in a hard and noisy world. So do we. Yet the same King guides every pilgrim who takes Him at His word.
This journey is not about literary analysis. It is about formation. It is about discovering how doctrine becomes devotion, how devotion shapes our daily walk, and how our daily walk keeps our eyes on the Celestial City.
Take a deep breath. Set your heart toward the road. Let Scripture light the way.
We walk this narrow path together.
