For 10 years, StoryBrand readers have clarified their message and then asked the same question: now what? Don Miller watched it happen over and over. Clients left workshops with great sound bites, and months later their website looked exactly the same. The message got stuck in committee, and nothing shipped.

In this episode, Don announces his new book, the StoryBrand Your Business Field Guide, and tells the story of why he wrote it. He was 40% through a 300-page book when he realized everything he was trying to teach fit on one sheet of paper. That page became the StoryBrand Messaging Canvas: your core sound bites, tagline, elevator pitch, and brand story on one side, and a map of every piece of marketing you'll create on the other.

It's the fastest book Don has ever written, and he believes it's the most helpful.

The StoryBrand Your Business Field Guide releases January 12, 2027. Pre-order now to get one of the first copies:

Is sin just an occasional mistake, or something deeper? Working through Romans 3:9–18, Dr. John Neufeld explains that all people are under the power of sin and are also willing collaborators in it, and walks through Paul’s indictment of our character, speech, behaviour, and arrogance toward God. Honestly facing our sin is the first step to freedom and to seeing why the Cross is so precious.

The Heart of the Gospel: This 25-message series on Romans 1–4 presents us with Christianity 101. It is the basics of our faith, teaching us how we can know for certain that sins are forgiven and what it is to live by faith.

According to Dr. Kevin Leman, children misbehave for one of four reasons. Jim Daly shares those four reasons and explains why understanding them will better equip you to know how to respond to your child’s misbehavior.

Chaos has a way of showing up in the body before the mind admits it. The constant bracing for impact, the sense of being in the spin cycle with a box of rocks, the panic that follows close behind and quietly steals peace and, over time, hope. Many people feel that the level of chaos inside and around them has never been higher, and the weight of carrying it all settles deep into the soul.

First Corinthians 14:33 offers an anchor: God is not a God of confusion but of peace. That truth outlasts whatever is happening around us. We may be experiencing a shipwreck, but we do not have to go down with the ship, because the Holy Spirit is a life preserver within reach. Calming the chaos is doable, and it begins with deliberate choices. Slow down, because life is not an emergency. Turn off the news. Pay attention to the stories you tell yourself, since inside voices become viewpoints, and viewpoints out of line with what God says create internal chaos. Rest the way butterflies rest when it rains. Release what cannot be changed, recalibrate your pace, and remember that not every request deserves a yes. Shift from “I have to” to “I get to.” Take one step at a time, and ask for help, because that is wisdom and not weakness. Paul wrote a theological discourse from a dark, damp prison, which means peace is available even in the hardest conditions.

Bible Verse

“For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.”
— 1 Corinthians 14:33, ESV

Ponder Today

1. God is greater than all your inner and outer chaos combined. Circumstances may feel overwhelming, but the truth about who God is outlasts the facts of whatever you are going through.
2. You are the sentry of your own soul. What you allow in, from constant news to replayed memories, shapes your peace. Guarding your soul is not selfish. It is essential.
3. The stories you tell yourself matter more than you think. When your inner narrative is out of line with what God says, chaos follows. Bring your viewpoints back into line with His truth.
4. Rest is not a luxury, even in the storm. Butterflies rest when it rains. Taking a break, a nap, or a vacation is a faithful response to chaos, not a failure to cope.
5. Take one step at a time and ask for support. God does not show the whole picture for a reason. One piece of the puzzle is enough for today, and the Holy Spirit and the people God has placed in your life are there to help.

A Prayer for You Today

Father God, we thank You that You are not a God of confusion, and that chaos is not what You want for our lives. Your peace is our inheritance, and we are grateful that You have given us many ways to calm chaos within and without. May we seek Your wisdom in how to do that in every chaotic moment we experience. In Your mighty name, Amen.
