What if your relationship with God feels more like a performance review than a love story?

Meet Mark Davidson — disciplined Christian, devoted father, high-performing accountant. He reads his Bible. Prays daily. Tithes faithfully. Checks every box.

So why does he wake up every morning wondering: "Have I done enough for God to love me?"

Mark's faith is collapsing under the weight of spiritual score-keeping. He's not struggling with sin — he's exhausted from striving.

The real problem:
External: "I need to be a better Christian."
Internal: "I'm tired, afraid, and never feel like I'm enough."

The truth Mark discovers:
We don't climb to God — He lifts us by His grace.

Coming up in this series:

• A mysterious field where people strive to reach Heaven
• A 50-foot pole no one can reach
• A basket lowered from above: "By Grace Through Faith"
• The moment Mark must choose: keep jumping, or trust Jesus

Reflect: Have you ever felt like Mark — doing all the right things, but still wondering if God is pleased with you?

Listen, enjoy, then hare this with someone who's tired of trying to earn grace.

Coming Soon: I'm currently working on other books including: 1) "Welcome to The Family: An Orientation to Life With God" (nonfiction), "The Red Neck Gospel of John (surprisingly revelatory!), and "Many"—a heart wrenching novel about the Gadarene demoniac.

Too many people feel stuck choosing between shallow fiction or dry theology. What if you never had to choose again?

Pastor Rick Porterfield discovered something powerful after 30+ years of ministry: when you turn life-changing sermons into gripping stories, people can't put them down AND they grow spiritually. No guilt required.

In this inaugural episode, Rick shares the moment he realized we've been sold a false choice between entertainment and spiritual growth—and what happened when he decided to do something about it.

🎧 In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Why Christians feel guilty choosing novels over Bible study (and why they shouldn't)
• The surprising reaction when Rick turned his first sermon into fiction
• How story teaches spiritual truth more powerfully than preaching
• Why God gave us imagination—and permission to use it
