WHEN YOUR WAY ISN'T WORKING

Find greater rest,
depth, and connection
in your life.

How is “DOing it your way” working for you?

Have you noticed that you’re getting more irritable with or easily annoyed by people? Do you spend more time scanning social media than talking with God in prayer? When was the last time you asked someone for help? And how did you feel when someone confronted you with those questions?

"Are you feeling discouraged or exhausted and don’t know why? Kyle offers questions that help his readers understand what is off and the only way that works. Kyle reminds us that Jesus is who we need most and helps us find a deeper connection with him.”

—JONATHAN POKLUDA

Lead pastor of Harris Creek, bestselling author, and host of the Becoming Something podcast

If you’re regularly feeling discouraged, frustrated, fatigued, or anxious, that’s a good indication that something in your life is out of sync. Drawing from John 15, Kyle offers a hopeful, biblical perspective on overcoming discouragement, distractions, fear, and isolation. Jesus told his disciples everything they needed to know to live a fruitful life: “stay connected to me.” But how do we actually do that? In these pages, Kyle shows us how to:

  • Find greater rest, depth, and connection in your life

  • Embrace freedom from the pressures of performance and production

  • Recognize what you can't do makes room for what God can do

  • Step out of isolation even when it feels scary

  • Discover the top distractions that keep you from connecting to God--and how to counter them

 In the end, the fruit of your life won't have to do with what you accomplished but with whom you stayed connected. Because no matter what happens next in this uncertain world, what matters most, lasts the longest, and brings the greatest joy is staying connected to the God who never leaves you.
