Tired, Hungry, and Kinda Faithful: Where Exhaustion and Exile Meet God
Ebook
"For I know the plans I have for--" No doubt, you know that Jeremiah 29:11 is all about a promising future for the believer. But what about Jeremiah 29:14, which tells us God will drive his children into a treacherous exile--the very place he wants to be found? How can exile offer hope? Why would a good God force his beloved into life's wastelands? Often, our Christian bubbles water down the answer to surviving on life's grim, bland manna, but what if the wilderness isn't as draining and barren as we thought? What if we are called to exile's supposed desolation to, instead, discover God's vibrant works in the most impossible situations? If you are juggling spiritual and physical hunger, exhaustion, and a mediocre faith that constantly thirsts for more of God's true nature, I invite you to traverse both lush and lacking terrains as we discover an even brighter, more real picture of God's goodness.
“By taking us through the original context of this Insta-worthy
Scripture often plastered on memes and posters, Peyton leads us
into full understanding of the absolute source of our hunger and
the one who sustains us. Tired, Hungry, and Kinda Faithful
is an important book in this hour.”
—Sarah Martin, author of Higher Pursuits: Positioning Yourself
for Everyday Revival
“With her signature wit, Southern charm, and deep love of
Scripture, Peyton Garland offers us an opportunity to experience
God in the wilderness of our souls and discover life-giving
refreshment there. This is the sort of book that leaves you longing
for goodness of the Lord, and, best of all, certain that you will
find it.”
—Wendi Nunnery, author of Good Enough: Learning to Let Go of
Perfect for the Sake of Holy
“From the introduction, Peyton had me hooked. Now, more than ever,
we’re looking for hope after the last few years turned us into
weary travelers. Tired, Hungry, and Kinda Faithful is
exactly what we need as we restock, reengage, and rejuvenate for
what’s ahead. On the other side of this desert, as Peyton explains,
is deep water. I think you’ll find it in this book.”
—Jonathon M. Seidl, author of Finding Rest: A Survivor’s Guide
to Navigating the Valleys of Anxiety, Faith, and Life
