Announcing My New Book, ‘Stop Chasing Easy’

by | Church, Culture, Leadership, Organizations, Personal Growth

Today I’m excited to announce the upcoming release of my new book, Stop Chasing Easy: Pursuing a Life That Counts Today…and For EternityStop Chasing Easy releases on February 15, 2022, and you can learn more about the book and bonus content HERE.

INTRODUCING STOP CHASING EASY:

Everywhere you look, there is a constant enticement to pursue a life of ease. In fact, for many people, “Easy Street” has become their primary ambition in life. Many believe that if it’s easy it must be good, and if it’s hard it must be bad. There’s only one problem: the apostle Paul warns us that, “Easy street is a dead end street” (Philippians 3:17-19, MSG). In the end, it leaves you feeling empty, and it deceives you into believing that the purpose of life is to avoid anything difficult.

But there’s a better way forward. Rather than leaning into “easy,” you can do hard things that make a real difference in your world. In my new book, Stop Chasing Easy, you’ll be inspired to think differently, grow to your full potential, and pursue a mission that’s worth your life. I’ll unpack the apostle Paul’s wisdom in the book of Philippians and share four powerful trade-offs that will help you make your life count today…and for eternity:

  • MINDSET: Trade Pessimism for Perspective
  • MATURITY: Trade Comfort for Character
  • MISSION: Trade Temporal for Eternal
  • MOVEMENT: Trade Regression for Progression

These four trade-offs come from the apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Written from a prison cell, chained to a Roman guard, Paul shows us how to resist the lure of Easy Street and pursue a life of meaning and impact—even when it’s hard. 

Stop Chasing Easy has been endorsed by some great leaders such as Dr. Sam Chand (author and leadership consultant), Hal Donaldson (CEO of Convoy of Hope), Shawn Lovejoy (CEO of Courage to Lead), Jeffery Portmann (Director of Church Multiplication Network), Scott Wilson (CEO of RSG Leaders), and others.
