You've followed the rules: go to church on Sundays, marry the right guy, seek the wisdom of God, keep everyone comfortable, and don't voice questions that keep you up at night. But you find yourself wondering, Is this what being a Christian is supposed to feel like? Is this what God has planned for me? Kendall found herself asking those same questions. She felt the disconnect between her beliefs and her lived experiences, between her values and what she saw happening in church. And it started her on a journey that completely reshaped her faith. In This Little Fire of Mine, Kendall shares her story of embracing holy discomfort and shows you: - How doubt can lead to discernment, questions can lead to clarity, and spiritual angst can transform your heart and guide you to a deep inner peace - The importance of pursuing an integrated life where your words and actions reflect the full truth of Scripture - Why good friction is healthy and can bring people together and reshape your family and community - Why it's safe to take your doubt, anger, and fear to Jesus and how it can help you develop a more meaningful relationship with him This Little Fire of Mine is a guide for pressing boldly into a faith that can withstand your questions, discovering how to anchor your identity in Christ, and refusing to hide your life, even if it makes others uncomfortable.
