We often think about belonging as where we fit in, but belonging is not dependent on particular places or people. It is not a mold we must pour ourselves into, hoping we will fit. Belonging is a welcome we carry with us. It is folded into our personhood like a divine inheritance, tucked into the unseen corners of the soul but firmer than the bones in our bodies. We belong because we have breath, and every exhale is an echo of the love of God, setting us free to hold and be held.

The Way of Belonging is an invitation to embrace a gentle-but-sturdy approach to belonging—not as something "out there" to attain, but as part of who we are and who we are becoming. By weaving together personal narrative with research, Scripture, and spiritual practices, this book provides a framework for how to see ourselves through the lens of God's welcome and to become an extension of that embrace as we are formed to be more and more like the Father.
