Sometimes Christians - even those of us who have been following Jesus for a long time - have a sense of something missing. We feel that we should be more comfortable and confident in our relationship with God. We wonder, "Shouldn't I be more capable, peaceful, joyful, and spiritual?" We are hungry for more.

I am the recent prospect for the SBMC. I want that patch more than anything in the world. To say that I earned it is the highest honor for me. I do the grunt work. I take the bullets. I do it all with pride. I respect this club and its members. Even more, I respect her. Cherry. The club whore. That's not how I see her. Beneath the depths of her thick skin, there is something I want to earn more than anything. Her heart.

Tic: My son means the world to me. He's all I have. His mom left us when he was born. I raised him. He's mine. The club is my home. It's his, too. After losing too many babysitters, Brooke's friend Ashley stepped in to watch Jameson. She was a good girl, one I knew I couldn't have. Until I had her. Now I want to keep her. Sometimes, what we want the most isn't what's in front of our eyes. Things change. Accidents happen and our lives are torn in half.

Mayhem: Mayhem. I bring it. I own it. Then I walk away and leave you to clean up the mess. That's the way I've always lived. For me, there is no other way. This is who I am. With all of this world comes death. I've experienced it firsthand and it ruined me. Then Taylor was thrust into my world. She was everything I should have stayed away from. Too bad I don't follow directions.

Declan: I was born into this world. I am what it made me. I do things that others find disgusting. I broke many rules when I met Brooke. She showed up one night, and I took advantage of that. When she kept coming back, I knew there was more to her. One day changed it all. One secret from my past blew our relationship out of the water. Brooke: Loss was all I knew. It creeps around every corner. One dare. That's all it took. The night I met Declan, I was on the high of my life. I felt safe with him. Little did I know, his secrets were also mine. When his past is revealed, I lose it.

Only a few days have passed since I crossed the Barrier into the demon realm looking for answers, but in those days, everything has changed. I've lost my home, my job, and almost my life. I've learned the truth about what I am, and it's fucking terrifying. Restoring the Barrier that separates the demon and human worlds comes down to me. One minor problem - I have no idea how to do it. My father left me clues before he died, but following them is going to prove more dangerous than anything I've faced before. Luckily, I don't have to face it alone.

Every night, I cross the Barrier to the demon realm to sling drinks at Hell on Earth, a bar on the edge of Darktown. I've always been fascinated by demons. It's a fascination I've never quite learned to control, and it just might get me killed. One fateful night, a darkly handsome, not-quite-human patron grabs my arm, leaving a magical mark burnt into my skin. Determined to find out what the mark means, I do the unthinkable: I venture alone into the demon realm. What I discover is terrifying.

At 18, PJ was full of dreams. She was on her way to becoming a serious artist and moving across the country, away from the unrequited, tortured dream of her much older brother's irresistible best friend, Dylan. But when she forced herself to let that dream go, she never expected it to bounce back and refuse to let her.

I can tell you from experience - a whole lot of complications. You see, four months ago, my all-American sister, Kelsey, found out that she’s not actually my sister - she’s a princess of a country we’d never heard of. She begged me to come along when she was whisked off to her new palace, so here I am. An outsider who doesn’t fit in anywhere. Now that she’s settled, I should go back to my exciting new career in New York.

I’m thrilled that my first trip back to my homeland, after years in exile, is for an assignment from the prime minister. Even better, the job's to put Princess Genevieve in her place...by cutting off her cash flow. Spoiled royals - even drop-dead gorgeous ones - don't do anything to deserve their wealth and status. Hell, they don't do anything. She's fighting me tooth and nail, of course. The only way to stop her arguing is, well, to kiss her.

One minute I’m starting my dream life in NYC, and the next, a man too hot for his own good is banging on my door, telling me that I’m a long lost princess of a country on the other side of the Atlantic. Not exactly your typical Friday night in the Big Apple. Suddenly, all of my plans for the future are yanked away. I’m trapped in a life filled with social obligations - and stilettos! - and an uptight royal family I didn’t know existed. They, and the whole rest of the freaking country, have lofty expectations I’m not sure I can meet.

There comes a time in every man’s journey with God where tips and techniques simply do not work.

This process helps explore four key areas of restoration in a man’s life: know God as father, know yourself, live in brokenness, and walk with God. The results of this process are measurable. Stop trying to change a behavior, and let God buff out the rough edges of the heart. He’ll take care of the rest.

In our age when the church can too often seem like a poor copy of the world, Chad Bird challenges us to reclaim the astounding originality of our ancient, backward faith. With compelling examples from the Bible and today, Bird paints an enticing picture of the counterintuitive, countercultural life that God wants for us. He helps listeners delight in all of the ways that Jesus turned the world upside down, allowing us to experience true freedom, not from our weaknesses but in the midst of them.

Discerning a calling is a messy undertaking. You are already involved in many good things now, even as you are being called to many good things in your future. The good life - good work, good relationships, good citizenship, good faith - is to be enjoyed now and pursued on every horizon. We are living out the Kingdom of God even as we seek it.
