Yet much of church life and culture has developed with extroversion as the default setting. This has left many introverted and shy people feeling inadequate, unappreciated, and even unwelcome. Sharing from the perspective of a shy introvert operating in a loving but extroverted church culture, Michael Burns draws on his own experiences as well as a series of podcast conversations with fellow misfits J. Brian Craig and Reggie Hearn to cast a vision of a church that embraces, celebrates, and utilizes introverts and extroverts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComing from the perspective of someone who knows what it is like to feel like a spiritual imposter constantly, Michael brings a personal touch to answer questions that many introverts carry with them on their spiritual journey: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- If I struggle with the idea of praying in public, is there something wrong\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e with me?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- If I become filled with anxiety at the mere thought of talking with people\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e I don't know or cold-contact evangelism, am I unspiritual?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- If my social battery drains quickly at church events and I just want to be\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e alone, am I unloving?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Am I a burden on my spiritual community because I am not as outgoing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e and personable as others?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Burns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1958723622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781958723623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Illumination Publishers Intl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Michael Burns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089377505535,"sku":"9781958723623","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37aed878-1639-49de-ae1d-c76e32a5dd6a.jpg?v=1769109869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lead-me-to-the-rock-michael-burns-9781958723623","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
