THE PROGRESSION: In nine chapters, the author provides practical tools and coping strategies to help readers manager their stress, prevent and recover from burnout, and reclaim control over their life.

Ed Stetzer: Coming Back

We have to take a step back as we teach God’s Word, building upon the grand narrative of redemption to show how every issue dealt with in the story of God is centered in Christ.

Tanita Maddox: Showing Up for Gen Z

There are just so many things that are compelling about the triune God and the way that triune God has enacted redemption for us and continues to sanctify us after we follow him. We just have to pull the contextualization out for our young people so they can see it on their terms.

Created for Relationships

There’s something about community—the relationships, the sense of belonging, the support and encouragement, the sympathy and understanding—that deepens our lives and anchors our souls.
