Words of Caution for Those Who Think They're Beyond Temptation Too
many Christians, especially those in ministry, believe they are
untouchable--that they're too faithful to fall or too spiritual to
give in to temptation. They deny any sort of weakness, fail to draw
proper boundaries, and end up doing the very things they swore
they'd never do. Pastor and author Brittany Rust was one such
person--until she found herself in the middle of moral failure and
a church-wide scandal. Bewildered, humiliated, and ashamed, she
thought she was beyond redemption. But God's grace met her on the
ground, and here she shares what she's learned through her painful
journey. She unravels the myth of being untouchable, showing how we
start to believe the lie, and how we can protect ourselves from
temptation. Ultimately she shows that to truly flourish in life,
you must be willing to admit weakness--and that no one is beyond
God's redeeming love.

- process the pain of betrayal
- prioritize relationships and work
- discern who to trust
- decide when and how to move on
- deploy trust in even the harshest environments

The Trust Protocol provides a clear path not just to manage these tensions but to embrace them in order to experience the genuine connectedness and effectiveness we're created for.

It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his
followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually
look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money,
convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the
gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...
BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?

decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he

her? Full-length, standalone Clean romance Happily ever after
