The book that can change your approach to faith:
After discovering a serious heart condition almost too late, I took a big risk and dove head-first into some long-held faith questions. Turns out, the questions are the three questions every life must confront. When we get detoured in life, these questions demand to be addressed.

In just a few minutes a day, you can acknowledge the question and leave with a newfound trust in a God who often doesn’t behave as we’d like…or expect.

What If Staying is the Real Leap of Faith?
We like faith to show up in big ways: in a fiery furnace, a lion’s den, an empty tomb. We even use the term “leap of faith” to mean a big move, something bold, fast, or at least forward. But what if the real show of faith is staying?
