Rooted: The Hidden Places Where God Develops You
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

You were born to make an impact in this world and you know it. You feel it deep down in your bones. Apathy is your nemesis and your hunger to change the world keeps you up at night. But no matter how deep this hunger growls, we can only make a meaningful impact if we are rooted in Jesus. And here’s the thing:   God is not interested in developing your vision first. He is interested in developing you.   In Rooted, Banning Liebscher takes us to the life of David to show how God expands our root system in the hidden places before leading us to where we all desire to go, the visible world. It was in a field of prayerful devotion, a season of serving, and a cave of community that God prepared David for his crown, the same way God prepares us. Take a look at your own life. Are you embracing God’s process, the sometimes painstaking and maddening process? When we can release ourselves to God we will find that we can thrive while He develops us, rather than succumb to discouragement.   Whatever your age or season of life, it takes immense courage to slow down enough to let God grow a root system in your life so that you can bear fruit that remains. You are where you are because God has planted you there. Discover what it looks like to embrace His process so you can do what He has called you to, change the world.

I can't begin to tell you all the perfection in God's timing, bringing us to Jesus Culture Sacramento late last year, and most recently the release of our Pastor Banning's book 'Rooted'. At the beginning of April our family lost the youngest of our three kids, our sweet two year old baby boy Carson Isaiah Young. We are deeply saddened by this sudden and tragic loss, but for us it was not the end of our world, but a significant milestone of a much bigger process and journey that God has been walking through with us.Your journey is not over, and God has new things he wants to reveal to you daily. It's not a sprint, but a marathon. He's wanting to run the race by your side and with you along the way. Allow Him to do the hard work of gardening and tending to the hard areas in your life, to properly establish the root system that will be able to bear fruit. Thanks to Prime, I received Banning's book on release day and read through it in a single afternoon. I couldn't put it down! Here's a excerpt that really spoke to me, but you'll have to read the whole book for yourself!"Nothing is worth more to God than our faith. It's what pleases Him, and He loves to put us in situations where we can please Him. He also loves to put us in situations where WE get to experience and see that OUR faith is GENUINE. Consider the following passage: In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:6-7)In those moments when we feel like we don't have anything more, God says...
