About this listen
Read by the author.
What if you weren’t made for something great but for Someone great?
We often hear that we were made for more. Yet our modern understanding of what it means to live a meaningful life can feel more like a burden than a dream. What if the more that we crave is not something we achieve but something we receive?
In this provocative and deeply spiritual book, Bible teacher Kelly Needham explains the problem isn’t that we long for something more. The problem is what we believe “something more” is. We spend our lives chasing after verbs, when we were meant to live for the Noun. Using her own journey and creative retellings of Bible stories, Kelly offers insights into
- why our hearts long for a sense of purpose,
- how to hold the tension between seeking greatness and embracing the ordinary,
- what the Bible says about true world-changers,
- how modern technology affects our desires—and how to avoid its pitfalls, and
- why resting accomplishes more than producing.
As we recognize the source of our hunger for the extraordinary, we can move forward in freedom rather than feeling stuck in guilt or disappointment. We can discover how to build a purpose-filled reality without turning our life upside down—so we can embrace the joy today that we always assumed was somewhere down the road.

And we wonder why we feel empty, exhausted, and directionless. But why do we do things that we know are harmful for us? Jonathan "JP" Pokluda wants you to know there's a better, more fulfilling way to live, and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers—because that's not where you'll find them.

If God is holy, then he can’t sin. If God can’t sin, then he can’t sin against you. If he can’t sin against you, shouldn’t that make him the most trustworthy being there is? Best-selling author Jackie Hill Perry, in her much anticipated follow-up to Gay Girl, Good God, helps us find the reason we don’t trust God - we misunderstand his holiness. In Holier Than Thou, Jackie walks us through Scripture, shaking the dust off of “holy” as we’ve come to know it and revealing it for what it really is: good news.

Using the life of Paul the Apostle as a case study, Bianca shows how grit was the genesis of his transformation from a judgmental Pharisee to a world-changing follower of Jesus.

Most lifestyle books for women are saying one of two things: "Hustle!" or "Slow down!" We are either prodded into endless activity and productivity or told that what we really need is to prioritize rest, relaxation, and simply "being." Is it any wonder we feel torn in every direction, worried we're missing the opportunities God has placed before us while at the same time feeling guilty that we're doing too much? Into this confusion comes Heather MacFadyen's empowering message to simply occupy your God-given space—a Hebrew definition of humility.

Story
In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand - making it irrelevant - and glorify it on the other - making it everything - it's hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called "woman". This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ - as a woman - looks like.

So you believe in God. Now what? Just before he left, Jesus sent his followers into the world with a revolutionary mission: to change the world by proclaiming God’s truth and demonstrating his incredible love. But the single task he gave us to accomplish remains unfinished.

Story
Pastor Todd Wagner invites listeners to experience the adventure, beauty, and fullness of life through the church as God intended. Obligated weekly services of mostly bored adults are not God's vision for His people. Todd illuminates a path for listeners to personally pursue a deeper relationship with God and then purposefully invest in God's design for His church. This book paints the picture of the Father's intention to bring His people into an adventurous life full of authentic relationships, powerful transformation, significance, and meaning.

In Running Scared, Edward T. Welch investigates the roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications of living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread. Welch encourages listeners to discover for themselves that the Bible is full of beautiful words of comfort for fearful people (and that every single person is afraid of something). Within the framework of 30 topical meditations, Welch offers sound biblical theology and moment-by-moment, thoughtful encouragement for life-saving rescue in the midst of the heart and mind battlefield of rampant panic-stricken responses.

J.D. Greear considers Jesus’ radical call to give your life away to the greatest cause of all. To view your life from the perspective of eternity. To start making decisions now that you’ll be glad you made. It’s time to put your “yes” on the table and let God put it on the map.

Our true purpose
This book was such a blessing! Seeing my soul purpose is not to use the blessings and gifts God has given us, but rather, the Creator God is our purpose! Cultivating and nurturing that relationship is our greatest purpose!!
I like so many have been purpose fooled, until this book! Thank you so much, Kelly, for sharing your heart and wisdom. The weight of fulfilling our God given purpose through our gifts is overwhelming! The freedom this book brought my heart and soul…I cannot put into words. So again thank you for pursuing our God and allowing His spirit to lead you.
