LASTING EVER

Life, Music, Faith, Marriage, & Family REBECCA ST. JAMES AND CUBBIE FINK

What does it look like to lean on God throughout the ups and downs of life? In Lasting Ever, Rebecca St. James and Cubbie Fink inspire us to live with courage, faith, and love—knowing that God is always with us on the journey.

Through authentic storytelling and hard-won wisdom, Rebecca and Cubbie illuminate the heartaches and triumphs that have shaped their story as a married couple, as parents, as musicians, and—most of all— as Jesus followers. Our awareness of God’s faithfulness in our own lives will deepen as we:

• Realize our expectations can bring both joy and reliance

• Understand our strength is found in turning to God in our weakness

• See how God works even in our loneliness, burnout, or insecurity

• Live boldly by sharing our dependence on God’s goodness

Through honest, and often humorous, conversations about singlehood, marriage, the purity movement, and life in the spotlight, Lasting Ever offers hope to all of us who face challenges but long to embrace life with a heart attuned to God’s grace.

THE HOUSE THAT JESUS BUILT

Leading Our Churches Back to God’s Original Blueprint NATALIE RUNION

From the bestselling author of Raised to Stay comes a hopefilled, practical path forward for our churches to rebuild from the rubble of deconstruction and the discouragement of recent years to become the world-changing family of God again.

God’s Word provides us the foundation, floor plan, and framework for a holy, healthy, and safe Church. Yet in recent years, our culture’s deconstruction of faith, the “great resignation” in church leadership and attendance, and the devastation of spiritual abuse have broken down God’s beautiful design.

In The House That Jesus Built, bestselling author Natalie Runion gives insight and encouragement to all the “stayers” who want to be a part of rebuilding our churches, brick by brick. With personal stories and practical ideas, she shows us how we can:

• Reengage our church communities while acknowledging past hurt and disappointment

• Reflect and pray as we ask how we as leaders and Christ followers have contributed to pain in our churches today

• Use the book of Acts as the blueprint for empowering the family of God to act like the family of God

• Understand how even the apostles wrestled with their role in the early church but remained committed to love God, love people, and make disciples

• Be unified on the one foundation of Jesus Christ

The House That Jesus Built will stir your heart to see God’s churches become healthy, whole, and back on mission with the Great Commission and Great Command. As Natalie reminds us, we are the Church. We are the ones who can partner with Jesus to rebuild something beautiful out of the rubble—and back on the Rock.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

THIRSTING

Quenching Our Soul's Deepest Desire STRAHAN COLEMAN

What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a lifechanging truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives.

We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.

In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to:

• Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth

• Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching

• Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communion

You thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.

ENTRUSTED TO LEAD

Cultivate Your Gifts. Build Your Confidence.

Discover Your God-Given Influence.

DONNA PISANI

A practical tool for women who are called to leadership roles in any area of life, Entrusted to Lead offers biblical insight and real-life encouragement for how to navigate their leadership journey.

In Entrusted to Lead, Pastor Donna Pisani draws on over four decades of experience to offer a biblical perspective of women in leadership that considers their role an entrusted assignment rather than just an entitled position. Women who wrestle with God’s call to lead, or who don’t have anyone supporting their call, will discover how to:

• Embrace their God-given, unique leadership gifts

• Become alert to the internal lies that make them hesitant to pursue their calling

• Answer Jesus’ mandate to women to “go tell”—even when no one seems to be listening

• Understand how Paul empowered both genders to lead and serve together

• Lean into Jesus’ strength when facing leadership challenges

Generations of confusion keep women from answering God’s call to lead, depriving God’s kingdom of crucial gifts and abilities. Entrusted to Lead shows women what it looks like to lead with confidence in the workplace and in ministry—and why Jesus always wanted women to have a seat at the table.
