Purposefooled: Why Chasing Your Dreams, Finding Your Calling, and Reaching for Greatness Will Never

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.

Beautifully Distinct: Conversations with Friends on Faith, Life, and Culture

Inspires women to engage with life and culture in a God-honoring way. How should we listen to, and think in a gospel way about, the ordinary things we come across in modern life? Things we watch, read, eat, and do. There are so many voices saying so many different things that the temptations are to either disengage completely, or find ourselves being influenced more and more by the world. In this book, godly, clear-thinking women talk about a range of areas of life and culture. They help us to be thoughtful about films, books, and the media; set out biblical principles for approaching topics such as body image and racism; and encourage us to shape the world around us for Christ-becoming beautifully distinct.

Friend-ish: Reclaiming Real Friendship in a Culture of Confusion

Bible teacher Kelly Needham debunks our world's constricted, small view of friendship and casts a richer, more life-giving, biblical vision for friendship as God meant it to be. As the family unit grows more unstable and the average age of marriage increases, a shift is taking place in our culture: for many people, friends now play the role of family. And just as with family relationships, our friendships often don't turn out quite as we envisioned or hoped, and we wonder, Is there a better way to do this? In Friend-ish, Kelly Needham takes a close look at what Scripture says about friendship. She reveals the distorted view most of us have of it and recasts a glorious vision for a Christian understanding. By teaching us how to recognize symptoms of idolatry and dependency, she equips us to understand and address the problems that arise in friendship--from neediness to discord and even sexual temptation. With hard-fought wisdom, a clear view of Scripture, and been-there perspective, Needham reorients us toward the purposeful, loving relationships we all crave that ultimately bring us closer to God.
