Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; they're a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanity's purpose, but we’re no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective.

Life is complicated. Faith isn't. Or it shouldn't be. But in the past and today, religious leaders have overcomplicated what Jesus and the Bible have made simple. Jesus taught one overarching principle backed by simple, practical applications for everyday life. The way of Jesus is simple enough for a child to understand and deep enough to learn for a lifetime. Whether you are new to the faith or are hoping to refresh a faith grown stale, Simply Following Jesus is your guide to a straightforward, action-oriented experience of Christianity.

The Walk is a book written to those who have expressed a desire to follow Christ as his disciple. It assumes no prior understanding of what that means, nor does it assume that the person has actually come to the point of professing faith. It uses as a starting point someone who is simply wondering, "What next?" Stephen also addresses those who have grown up Christian and may be wondering how to step out in their own faith.

Although King David was a man after God's own heart he was imperfect and sinful. Throughout David's life he was blessed to encounter connections (both positive and negative) with other men that made David who he was. God has built us for connection, and your destiny and success is intertwined with your relational life. Ten Men was written to help men define and find their God-given tribe.

One-third of our waking lives is spent at work. Work is where we make culture and come into contact with our world. Work is central to God's mission to redeem souls, systems, and structures.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for the world, and that includes the transformation of our ordinary work into a sacred calling.
