About this listen
It's easy to go through days, weeks, even years on autopilot, moving from one activity to another, rarely taking the time to consider what it's all for anyway. Why did God make us? What does he want us to do with the time he has given us? And how can we find out?
In her best-selling story-driven style, Christian rocker Lacey Sturm shares with listeners the beautiful struggle of learning what one's unique gifts are and pursuing them wholeheartedly. She helps them see each day as a gift from God, find balance in their busy lives, and discover the joy of giving God's gifts back to him by using them to bring him glory.
Young people especially will love this openhanded and openhearted take on what to do with their lives, as will those who feel like they've been coasting or heading down the wrong path.

Story
Rock princess Lacey Sturm wants to share her journey from heartbreak to wholeness with young women. In The Mystery, Sturm helps listeners understand that any loving relationship begins with knowing your own identity in Christ. And yet, so many people have learned to define love through their own dysfunctional family, unhealthy relationships, the romances and wrecked relationships of mainstream pop culture, or, sadly, through pornography. Is it any wonder so many people end up brokenhearted, divorced, abused, abusive, or even suicidal?

Story
The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her grandmother forced her to go to church, a place Lacey thought was filled with hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. The screaming match she had with her grandmother was the reason she went to church. What she found there was the reason she is alive today. With raw vulnerability, this hard-rock princess tells her own story of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, and her ultimate salvation.

The Enemy is constantly seeking to fill your mind with destructive and harmful thoughts - whether of fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, envy....

It’s an ongoing battle, but one you can win!

Can a simple concept shift your entire world? Bob certainly thinks so. When it comes to loving your neighbors, instead of focusing on having the “right answers” or checking the “right boxes”, what if you decide to simply do love? To shamelessly show love and grace to those around you—what would that look like? Not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings, Bob's love takes action. Bob believes Love Does.

Story
There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn’t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent—even from ourselves.

What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

Story
What do you do when you wake up and feel like you're not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart? As Ann Voskamp writes, "great grief isn't meant to fit inside your body. It's why your heart breaks." And each of us holds enough brokenness to overflow - to be given as the greatest story of our lives. In 60 vulnerably soulful stories, The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness.

Story
When you’re in the midst of suffering, you want answers for the unanswerable, resolutions to the unresolvable. But there is a pathway through this suffering. It’s not easy, but God will use it to lead you toward healing. This path is called lament. In the midst of your darkest times, you will discover that lament leads you back to a place of hope - not because lamenting does anything magical, but because God sings a louder song than suffering ever could, a song of renewal and restoration.

Story
What's hiding in your heart? Deep down, every woman longs to feel loved and secure. We may think we look to God for these things, but in reality we often run to food, Facebook, or friendship first. Worshipping God’s gifts is idolatry. And idolatry destroys intimacy with God and steals our joy. In this audiobook, author Dee Brestin brings unfailing principles and vivid testimonies - from Scripture, her own life, and the lives of women who have tested these truths and are excited to tell about their transformations.

You don't have to keep striving for freedom - instead, you can live in the freedom you already have in Christ. In this audiobook, Rebekah Lyons walks you through her journey of releasing stress, anxiety, and worry to uncover the peace that comes from Jesus Christ. Have you bought into the lie? So many of us do. We measure our worth by what others think of us. We compare and strive, living our lives for the approval of others. Pressure rises, fear and anxiety creep in, and we hustle to keep up.

Lacey's insights are heartfelt, honest and hopeful
This book is not your typical self-help book or guide to be more creative or inspired; it’s a raw, heartfelt look at where our passions and creativity come from, why they’re there and how we can use them to love God and those around us.
Lacey reads it herself and gives additional depth, emotion and insight into her feelings and heart behind her words, allowing the reader to feel like they’re experiencing her stories along with her. Her conversational tone, both in her wording and her reading, makes it feel more like you’re having coffee with a friend than reading a book.
Lacey discusses everything from her experiences as a new Christian and her time as a touring rock musician to her experience as a wife and now mother. She shares how God walked her through those times, revealed himself to her and showed her how to use what he gave her in those seasons to best love those around her.
Lacey also shares many profound insights into her relationship with God, her personal times of worship and devotions, and her passions and her personal struggles, with the aim of sharing how we can grow in our creativity, passion and worship, and learn to live each day for God. Her insights are heartfelt, raw and honest, and are clearly all breathed from her conversations with God, hours of worship and times spent in his Word.
I would encourage you to read the hard copy as well, as Lacey incorporates heartfelt poems, songs and other insights into her walk with Jesus that are inspiring, insightful and delightfully her own. Overall, this was an inspiring, heartfelt read that brought me closer to God and inspired me to pursue him and my passions with fresh hope and insight.

I just finished and I’m going to listen to it again...
A honest account of vulnerability that gently unravels the tightly wound soul. It is the deepest catharsis I have experienced in a long time. Lacey’s journal entries are like post-modern psalms That will deepen your capacity of awareness of the creator in everything, in every encounter.

Moved me to get closer to Father God!
I really really enjoyed this book and it's inspired me and gave me some practical ways to not only get closer to my Father, but to show love in everything I do. It's motivated me to want to be a light to everyone I encounter, Prioritize my spiritual life over my earthly life, draw closer to God through prayer and Biblical study, and act according to His will. To remember that consecration isn't a one-time thing, but a daily act, do your best to follow His will. I want to bring on Heaven Culture, with my Perspective, understanding a love beyond necessity, and letting intimacy fuel my love! Thank you Lacey!

This book is full of life
Thank you Lacey for the new book! I waited expectantly for the new book and I am not disappointed. I will probably even buy the hardcopy and read it again. I listened to the book every morning while walking to the bus and your words helped me on focusing on what the truth is and helped me to focus on not giving up. Thank you, God bless you and Well done my sister in Christ!
