People in recovery don't need another program. Addiction's reach extends into every neighborhood, every church, every family. The need is urgent and the pain is real. Churches want to help. But too often, good intentions launch programs without relationship, strategies without listening, services without understanding where God is already at work. Rosario Picardo and Shannon Kiser have walked this ground. Through the launch of Fighting Chance Recovery in Dayton, Ohio-once the opioid overdose capital of America-and years of accompanying churches into everyday mission, they've learned that recovery ministry begins not with marketing plans but with joining God's healing work already underway. Jesus is already present in recovery spaces, bringing freedom to the captive and hope to the hurting. You're invited to see where he's at work-and join in the transformation. Planting Hope Here offers a different roadmap-one shaped by the Fresh Expressions Missional Journey framework As a church leader, you don't bring Jesus to the recovery community. He's already there, bringing freedom to the captive and hope to the hurting. Planting Hope Here helps you learn to join the sacred work of renewal that God is already doing in the fragile, beautiful places where people are reaching for new life.

What if there was a clear, step-by-step path to breaking free from struggles and embracing a new life in Christ? A Fighting Chance in 40 Days is a practical, faith-filled guide to overcoming the obstacles that keep you from living fully. Whether you're struggling with addiction, unhealthy patterns, or simply seeking deeper spiritual growth, this book provides daily devotionals that combine Scripture, personal reflection, and actionable steps to move you forward. For forty days, you'll explore themes of surrender, trust, accountability, and spiritual renewal-giving you the tools to start fresh and build a stronger foundation in faith. No matter what battles you face, you have a fighting chance. God's grace is bigger than your past, and the future is still wide open.

Most of us know the right things to do with finances. We know we need to live within a budget, prioritize giving and saving, and avoid debt...so why is there so often a gap between our knowledge and our actions? Could it be that it's not really about money at all? Healthy Money is a 30-day guided journey that takes you beyond your budget and bank balance and into the emotional and spiritual roots of your finances: your beliefs, your wounds, your fears, and your dreams. This journey will reveal your primary money mindset, its healthy and unhealthy sides, and how God can transform your financial patterns at the root by healing the deepest parts of your heart and soul. You will discover:  The 5 common money mindsets (and which one you have) The underlying beliefs that drive your financial habits Godly truths to replace unhealthy lies about money How to overcome the weaknesses and play into the strengths of your mindset Reflection questions and guided prayer to help you surrender your finances to God Financial next steps that work for you (no more "shoulds" or formulas)As you explore and own the truth about your relationship with money, you will find more than just financial freedom; you will also find freedom from the lies you believe about yourself, the guilt and shame you carry, and the fear, scarcity, and comparison mindsets that keep you from reaching your personal and financial potential. Healthy Money isn't another piece of advice, another box to check, or someone else pointing out what you're doing "wrong." It's a tool to unleash deeper healing in your life, change the financial trajectory you're on, and start heading in the direction you want to go - from a place of surrender, trust, and wholeness.;

Don't Look Down: Answering Jesus' Call to Walk on the Water is for followers of Jesus who may find themselves stuck in a rut spiritually, at a decision point but too afraid to make a move or wondering why they aren't living a more fulfilled, purposeful life. This book features practical application for turning faith into Kingdom work and discipleship in our faith communities. It also features fresh, encouraging, and imitable stories of people (church planters and entrepreneurs) who have heard Jesus say to them, "Come," and who have walked with Jesus in remarkable and instructive ways. Many believers today want to see their faith in action. They want to know where Jesus is going to use them for his glory in the world. Yet, many are stuck not knowing how to turn the ignition on their faith. They may not expect to hear from God or may not have the courage to answer God's call. This book will be a spark to help people out of their "boats" and onto whatever water Jesus has called them. It is an ideal resource for church planters, church planting teams and teaching pastors, couples, college students, ministry leaders, and anyone hoping to put their faith into motion.

Clergy are trained to preach, teach, and lead a congregation in spiritual matters. However, there is very little training for clergy when it comes to the "business" matters of the church-finances, debt reduction, fundraising, and building maintenance. The added and sometimes unexpected load for clergy can become cumbersome and extremely stressful. In addition, the decline of the church and the passing of key funders of churches leave many pastors with dying churches and few resources to do anything about it. Author Rosario Picardo has been in this very position. As a pastor, Picardo launched a church in a movie theater with no people and very little financial support. He also revitalized a dying congregation in a deteriorating physical structure. Through trials and failures, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking, God provided, and Picardo learned new ways for reaching the least and lost, and for growing disciples. In Funding Ministry with Five Loaves and Two Fish, Picardo shares the lessons he's learned with confidence that other leaders can do the same. He demonstrates how, step by faithful step.
