Full Description
Adoptive mom, Army wife, and influencer Kendall Mariah shows readers that if you are willing to embrace the uncomfortable friction that comes with leaning into big questions and hard conversations, you'll discover a new way to deepen your faith, find your true purpose, and anchor your identity in Christ.
We all know "the formula": make the right friends, go to church every Sunday, choose the right school, marry the right guy, seek the wisdom of God, and the desires of your heart will be met. Being a good Christian girl has its rewards, right? But what if you do everything "right" and something still feels off?
Kendall Mariah followed the rules but still ended up experiencing a disconnect between her beliefs and her lived experiences, between her values and what she saw happening in church. She wanted to be authentic and speak her mind but felt the pressure to sit back and be quiet, acting like everything was fine. She began to call the tension between these feelings "soul friction." It led her to start asking questions that sometimes felt uncomfortable and speaking up when it would have felt more comfortable to keep quiet. Along the way she discovered that she wasn't alone in feeling soul friction.
In This Little Fire of Mine, Kendall seeks to remind every woman that we shouldn't hide our light but should boldly press into our faith and live with conviction, because a real and vibrant faith is anchored in Jesus and nothing else. As she leans into honest conversations and thoughtful questions, Kendall shares
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 important of pursuing an integrated life where our words and actions reflect the full truth of Scripture;
why good friction is healthy and can bring people together and reshape families and communities; and
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.
Kendall urges readers to let the contradictions they feel in life guide their questions and convictions as they find themselves in a beautifully surprising, more intimate relationship with God than they knew was possible.
