This Is The Way - Nourishment for the journey.

Welcome to This Is The Way—a space for people who are hungry to know Jesus more deeply and walk with Him more closely in the everyday stuff of life.

I’m Steve Peschke, a husband, father, grandfather, pastor, and teacher. I’ve spent years serving people in both ministry and the marketplace, and I’ve seen the same longing over and over again:

“I want to follow Jesus—but I need help staying nourished, anchored, and on-track along the way.”

This publication was born out of my desire to share my journey and support others along their way.

What You’ll Find Here

This Is The Way is all about nourishment for the journey—simple, Scripture-shaped content that helps you walk in the light of Christ one step at a time.

Here you can expect:

• Devotionals that connect Scripture to real life

• Seasonal and Book series (like the Christmas Lights devotional) to walk through key times in the year and individual Books of the Bible

• Reflections and teaching that bring clarity, encouragement, and practical application

• Resources and tools to help you grow in your daily walk with Jesus

My goal isn’t to overwhelm you with information, but to offer steady, thoughtful, Spirit-led encouragement you can actually apply to your life and grow in your relationship with Jesus.

My Heart for This Ministry

I believe:

• Jesus is still calling people to follow Him—in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, schools, and churches.

• God’s Word is living and active, able to comfort, confront, and transform us.

• The Holy Spirit still speaks, guides, strengthens, and empowers believers for everyday obedience and Kingdom influence.

My prayer is that this space becomes a steady light for you—reminding you that you are not alone, that God is at work, and that there truly is a way forward with Jesus, no matter what you’re facing.

How to Use This Space

You’re invited to:

• Subscribe to receive new devotionals and reflections directly in your inbox

• Read at your own pace—no pressure, no guilt, just regular reminders of grace and truth

• Share posts with friends, family, or your church if something speaks to you

• Return often when you need a fresh word of encouragement or direction

I’ll be building this over time with series like Christmas Lights, future devotionals, and other resources designed to help you grow.

A Final Word

If you’ve ever felt tired, dry, or unsure where you’re headed—but still hungry for God and for the realization of your identity in Christ—I’m glad you’re here.

“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.”
— Psalm 119:105

Let’s walk this road together, one step at a time, following Jesus - This Is The Way.
