Never Settle

I’m excited to finally be able to share this news with you. In September 2020, Never Settle: Choices, Chain Reactions, & the Way Out of Lukewarminess will be released through NavPress.

This book came from a message God put on my heart years ago and I cannot think of a better time for it to be released. With chapters on finding hope in an uncertain world, radical hospitality, faith when the boat capsizes, the impact of one faithful life, it’s clear to me that God knew what we’d be facing these days.

Never Settle is inspired by a familiar passage in Revelation 3 where Jesus is warning the church in Laodicea. What offends Jesus so much? When those who call themselves Christian decide to play it safe and compromise – when we settle for lukewarminess.

Lukewarm. Apathetic. Bland. Complacent. 

While we don’t consciously choose a less-than-life, it happens. Little by little, we start putting down roots in a land of less than: less than satisfying, less than interesting, less than helpful, and certainly less than hopeful. Before we know it our faith is lukewarm.

Consider this an invitation to a different way of thinking, of seeing the world, of living in the world.

For those who want to know that their life has significance, that their choices matter, and that they can start a chain reaction in our world, this missional book is for you. Never Settle is a tangible reminder that every choice in your day is crackling with God’s redemptive power – you, yes you, are called to be a part of what God is doing in the world.
