YOUR FAITH IS ABOUT TO GET MESSY. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.

The spiritual life isn't a straight line. It's a series of holy curveballs, strange invitations, and questions that don't have simple answers. We're taught to seek certainty, but what if God is waiting for us in the controversy, the confusion, and the courage of our convictions?

In this collection of sermons based on the Gospel of Matthew, Mary Austin ditches polite religion for a "fierce faith" that speaks to our complicated world. Forget what you think you know about the Pharisees, forgiveness, and fairness. It's time to find God in the places we've been trained to avoid.

THIS BOOK OFFERS A NEW PATH FOR:

THE TIRED PREACHER: Find fresh, engaging sermons for the Season after Pentecost (Cycle A) that will re-energize your congregation with relevant topics. THE CURIOUS BIBLE STUDY: Move beyond surface-level discussions with a ready-made discussion generator for small groups seeking deeper insights and a surprising God. THE FAITHFUL BUT FRUSTRATED: Discover how to transform your faith into action, moving beyond motions into the work of loving God and neighbor. THE PERSON WHO FEELS LIKE AN OUTSIDER: This book welcomes newcomers and those hurt by the church, introducing a Jesus who stands with the lost and those who feel they don't belong.

Stop waiting for a faith that makes sense. Embrace the one that makes you brave.
