PreparingTheWay.net is a ministry in its infancy. The extent of its future impact is unknown, but Shane & Danae Martin know that God has released them to begin the process of its development. “God has called us to write and preach the Gospel, and our hope and prayer is that in all things our lives will exemplify the power of God’s irresistible grace, and how it has radically transformed our hell-bound lives of sin.” – Shane & Danae Martin
Mission:
To be a part of the thousands of amazing ministries around the world that are equipping the Saints through teaching the Word of God piece by piece. “We were once products of a self-centered Gospel that looked for what could be earthly gained from Christ’s sacrifice. God revealed the condition of our slavery to sin graciously through His Word and has soundly saved us by His mercy and grace. Now, we feel it to be part of our mission to tell others who may be trapped in the same man-made gospel of the truth that we have found in Christ.”
Danae and Shane are in the process of authoring their first book, which they don’t expect to be finished for a number of months yet.
“We hope that our blog posts will help you grow in Christ.”

Endorsements:
“The popular self-indulgent spirituality of contemporary Christianity exists because its believers have lost sight of the biblical gospel. This “God is a divine Butler” mentality has been perpetrated by motivational speakers in pulpits, who themselves have lost their agenda–to preach the will of God. It’s refreshing to find those in this vast spiritual wilderness who know and preach the will of God. Shane and Danae Martin are one such couple.” Ray Comfort
Hello,
I just wanted to send you a message letting you know how much I am appreciating your ministry.
I am in a hard place where I am unsure if I am saved or not.
I was reading your recent blog about that and it was very encouraging.
I need desperate prayer for God’s grace and understanding. I never knew how hard it was to repent and get over myself and what that all means. I hope that you would pray for me.
Thanks again for your faithfulness.
Megan, thanks so much for contacting us. Yes, my wife and I will be praying for you. We appreciate your openness and sincerity. Which post were you referring to that you recently read? And why have you been questioning your faith? There’s one thing I think that can help you out. A person should never question their faith, but instead they should examine it. What I mean by that is if I had bought a gold ring and one day I noticed something about it that wasn’t really the characteristic if gold, say it was tarnishing. The first thing I should do is go get it examined so that I know if it’s authentic or not. If I question it right away before examining it then I fall into assumption and find myself angry and depressed. The best thing you can do is get into the Bible and examine your faith according the scriptures. If you find all the evidence saying it’s not authentic, drop to your knees and call out to God to save and change you.
Lord bless you.
Shane Martin
Shane,
Sorry it has been so long, I didn’t even know there was a reply.
I am thankful for your prayers and I can say now that a lot of your posts are helpful to me. I forget the one that I was talking about back in Dec.
I am questioning because I never realized before that somebody could 1. think they were saved when they weren’t and 2. I never thought about predestination before. So I started thinking okay how do I really know that I am saved…. I don’t know! Then reading 1 John I think makes it fearful for me. How do I know that I am either of the light or the darkness? All of these questions and then realized that I don’t know that I have ever TRULY believed the way I should. I mean, Jesus REALLY lived 2000 years ago. He died and it is recorded… why did I never think of these things before? Now my dilemma is, I think I have been calling out to God for a long time now… has He saved me? Am I really praying to Him instead of talking to myself? Why don’t I know still? He is the ONE and He works in us, to believe, repent, etc. though I know it is me who has to have faith. I know that it is right to believe and to trust the Bible but now I am discovering that it really is real! Not just a bunch of stories… like I have been blinded this whole time. Please pray that God would help me to see and trust and JUST believe.
Thank you for your ministry.
Megan
