A call for Christians to move past the shallows of idealized beliefs and into a deeper, more vibrant, beatitude-like faith rooted in sacred practices and intimate experiences with God.

When the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a wider vision for worship and community.

In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way “practice-based faith.”

This book is about loving one’s faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer. By adopting some new spiritual practices, it is possible to learn to swim again with (more…)

In a time of division and discord, Christians have come to be seen not as bearers of good news and love but of judgement and intolerance. How did we get here? And what can we do about it?

With a reporter’s eye and a compassionate heart, Philip Yancey—bestselling author of What’s So Amazing About Grace?—suggests practical ways in which we can live as salt and light within a society that is radically changing.

What can we learn from those who shun church but consider themselves spiritual?
How do people like artists, pilgrims, and activists model for us a more compelling path to faith than our usual concept of evangelism?
Can the good news, once spoiled, ever sound good again?
In Vanishing Grace, Yancey tackles challenging (more…)

Discover how you can achieve true and lasting greatness…the answer might surprise you.

“If you’ve picked up this book, you have the opportunity to do more than you ever thought was possible.” New York Times bestselling author, Michael Todd

In Welcome to the Basement, podcaster and thought leader Tim Ross shows you how you can achieve true and lasting greatness. But his tools and tactics might surprise you. Ross has put them to the test in his own life, and he’s come to believe that the only way up is down, the only way in is out, and that downward mobility is your only hope for upward utility.

For far too long we’ve been held captive by false promises of hype and hustle in a world that needs hope and healing. Previously published as Upset the World–and now fully revised and rewritten for today’s unique challenges, circumstances, and opportunities–Welcome to the Basement is a rallying cry and a practical guide to God’s radical last-shall-be-first, least-shall-be-greatest way of living.

Tim will help you:

Discover that you are God’s masterpiece and learn to receive His unstoppable love and grace.
Gain step-by-step guidance for identifying the people, places, and pieces that you’ve been called to disrupt and shower with God’s love.
Experience for yourself the good that God has for you–because only people whose lives have been turned upside-down by God can become Kingdom basement dwellers.
The humblest acts of goodness have the greatest power. And the lowest floor of the building is where the real VIPs live.

Will you step down and into the good things God is doing in the world?

We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies.

The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is.

The choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether (more…)

Author(s):

“The book of Revelation is often treated like a code to crack or a roadmap to the end of the world. Charts multiply, timelines compete, and ordinary Christians quietly back away from the only book of Scripture that explicitly promises a blessing to those who read, hear, and keep it.

The Heart of Victory: A Daily Journey Through the Book of Revelation invites you into something very different: 84 days of clear, pastoral, text‑driven readings that help you see Revelation as it was given—an unveiling of Jesus Christ for real churches in real trouble, and for believers today whose “Monday mornings” feel anything but victorious.

Structured as twelve weeks of daily devotions, this book walks passage‑by‑passage through Revelation, organized into eight major parts: Christ among His churches, the throne and the scroll, the seals and the sealed, trumpets and witness, the dragon and the beasts, bowls and Babylon, the thousand years and new creation, and finally the echoes of the Old Testament that saturate John’s vision. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a concise “Heart of Victory” statement, accessible exposition, concrete application to ordinary life, and a prayer to help you respond.
