Not Meant To Walk Alone

Two Voices, One Journey: Finding the Discipler and Mentor You Need

We were never meant to walk this out alone. Most people are willing to disciple or mentor someone — they simply don’t know where to begin. This gives both of you that place to start: guided study through the Gospel of John and Romans, a full Mentorship Guide for the real conversations, and fourteen focus areas where faith can take root and grow. Ask someone to walk with you, and hand them this.

Living each day in the power of the Holy Spirit

Empowered For More

How the Holy Spirit empowers us to daily experience the power, presence, and purpose of God.

Most of us could describe the Father. Most of us could describe Jesus. The Holy Spirit is where it goes quiet — and for some, where it feels uncomfortable. If that is you, you are in good company, and there is nothing here to be afraid of. This book shows who the Holy Spirit is and the difference He makes to an ordinary day. He is your guide, your counselor, your comforter, and the power to do the things you find hardest to do for God. Nothing wild, nothing strange — practical teaching, in plain words, that you can understand and put into practice the same day.

“What you are holding in your hand, I believe, is the best book written on the power of the Holy Spirit and how to be led by the Holy Spirit in all areas of your life.”

I had the sense that I was holding a new believer’s Swiss Army Knife in my hands.
Mark CrullInterim Executive Pastor, Northview Church · on Now That You Believe
Every time I start a chapter, it’s like you know exactly how I’m feeling.
Derek P.New believer · on Now That You Believe
He removes the mental ‘scar tissue’ so often attached to the Holy Spirit.
Jeff S.Retired Senior Pastor · on Empowered For More
I grew up in church my entire life, and I have never felt so empowered.
