I think we would all admit that it would be great to have a closer relationship with God. Despite our best intentions, we often drift away from our faith. Life seems more exciting making our own decisions, without any direct input or guidance from God.
 
The problem is that it never seems to end well. Disappointment happens, stress, anxiety, and even depression sets in, eventually leaving us desperate for the comforting and guiding hand of God in our lives.
 
I guess it’s all part of the journey each and every one of us is on. The road from where we are to where God wants us to be is filled with many challenges and sometimes daunting obstacles.
 
Popular singer/songwriter Micah Tyler has spent a great deal of his adult life writing songs that address the very challenges that have already been mentioned. Through his lyrics and words, Micah’s desire is to encourage believers to experience the mercy and mission of a closer connection with God, and to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus, regardless of what we might be going through.
 
In his debut devotional book, “Walking Free: Taking Small Steps to a Big God”, that was inspired by his popular worship song of the same name, Micah encourages readers to take small steps away from the things of this world and all the empty promises it offers and walk toward the good things of God and the knowledge of knowing Jesus more deeply.
 
Micah joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about how the process of writing a book isn’t all that different from writing a song.  He says that like most songs, devotional books are born out of intense experiences or personal pain. Listen as Micah shares that ultimately it’s all about being transparent, vulnerable, and open to God’s leading.
