There Is More Moving Beyond Cultural Christianity to a Life of Purpose, Passion, and Power (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994381311)

Is there more to faith than going through the motions?

When Jesus said "Follow Me," He wasn't offering a comfortable add-on to an already busy life. He was calling ordinary people to an extraordinary adventure-one that would cost them everything and give them everything that matters.

In There Is More, Dr. Bill Brunson-a pastor with over thirty-five years of ministry experience-confronts a crisis facing the modern church: millions of Christians who believe in Jesus but have never truly followed Him. They attend services, check the boxes, and call themselves believers, yet something essential is missing. They're living what Dietrich Bonhoeffer called "cheap grace"-grace without discipleship, faith without transformation.

This isn't another book to make you feel guilty about your spiritual life. It's an invitation to discover the abundant life Jesus actually promised.

Through powerful stories of faith-from the disciples who dropped their nets to follow a rabbi, to Jim Elliot and the Ecuador Five who gave their lives on a jungle sandbar, to Corrie ten Boom who forgave her Nazi captors-Brunson illuminates what surrendered discipleship looks like in real life. Drawing from Scripture and three decades of pastoral wisdom, he guides readers through:

• Recognizing Cultural Christianity - Seven warning signs that your faith may be more cultural habit than transforming relationship
• Counting the Cost - What Jesus actually asks of His followers and why it's worth every sacrifice
• The Surrendered Life - Discovering that purpose flows from yielding to God, not from striving on your own
• Life in Community - The Acts 2 blueprint for doing life together in authentic, transformational relationships
• Living on Mission - Understanding that we are blessed to be a blessing, saved to be sent

Each chapter includes personal reflection questions, group discussion guides, and practical action steps, making this an ideal resource for individual study, small groups, Sunday school classes, or churchwide campaigns.

There Is More also introduces readers to Discipleship Bands-small groups of three to five people who meet regularly around transformational questions-providing a proven structure for ongoing growth and accountability.

The restlessness you feel isn't a problem-it's an invitation. God put that holy discontent in you on purpose. He's saying, "There's more. So much more. Will you come and find it?"

The Jordan River is in front of you. The question is whether you'll step in.
