Tyler thought he understood Christianity. Be good. Go to church. Don’t screw up. But when life cracked under the weight of pressure, that list couldn’t hold him.
One night, sitting in the quiet after another failure, a friend shared the gospel—not as a demand, but as a gift. For the first time, Tyler saw it clearly: Jesus had already done the work. His worth wasn’t in performance. His hope wasn’t in himself. The gospel wasn’t about climbing up—it was about being carried.
Mia’s story wasn’t much different. She had spent years chasing affirmation, curating an image that looked perfect on the outside while she felt empty inside. Then one Sunday, Romans 5:8 landed like a lifeline: “But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus didn’t love a better version of her—He loved her now, as she was.
These moments change everything.
The gospel is not advice. It’s not a motivational pep talk. It’s the good news that Jesus came to rescue us—fully, freely, and finally. And that news isn’t just how you start the Christian life; it’s the way you live it every day.
So why do so many of us treat it like a past event? Why do we act like grace got us in, but now it’s all on us to keep it together?
Ephesians 2:8–9 reminds us, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
If you’ve been living like faith is a checklist… if you’ve been running on empty… if you’ve wondered if God could still love you after the week you’ve had—hear this: you don’t have to earn what’s already been given.
Grace removes the striving. It anchors your identity. It gives you courage to stop performing and start abiding.
That’s what Made For This is all about—how the gospel transforms not just your “spiritual life,” but your family, your fitness, your finances… every part of who you are.
If you’ve been longing for a faith that feels real in the chaos of everyday life, this book will meet you there. It will help you root your identity in Christ, build habits that last, and live with the kind of peace and purpose you were made for.
Your story isn’t over. You are being made new.
