ABOUT THE BOOK
​The Definitive Blueprint for the Long Obedience
​If the first volume in this series, What Just Happened, was the emergency flare for the newly rescued soul, then Now That You Know is the master architect’s plan for the building that follows. This is not a book for the spiritual tourist; it is a manual for the seasoned resident. It is written specifically for those who have moved past the initial tremors of conversion and have settled into the rhythms of church life, yet feel a quiet, persistent hunger for something more than “business as usual.”
​Now That You Know is a professional, high level exploration of spiritual maturity. It addresses the uncomfortable reality that many believers start their journey with a bang but eventually settle into a hollow, mechanical routine. This book is the “Solid” antidote to spiritual plateauing, burnout, and the subtle pride that often accompanies years of service. It is a summons to move from the excitement of the “New Birth” to the excellence of a “Faithful Finish.”
​Navigating the Heights of Stewardship
​As you progress in your walk with Christ, the challenges do not disappear; they simply change their shape. The “respectable” sins of apathy, isolation, and self-sufficiency often replace the obvious struggles of the past. Now That You Know provides a strategic diagnostic for the soul, focusing on the five pillars of the mature life:
- ​The Guard Against Apathy: Learn why familiarity is the greatest threat to a seasoned leader and how to rediscover “First Love” without losing the wisdom of experience.
- ​The Art of Multiplication: Shift your mindset from “Ministry Addition” to “Kingdom Multiplication,” moving from being a star who needs followers to a scout who develops leaders.
- ​The Cultivation of the Interior: Explore the “Ancient Paths” of silence and solitude, ensuring that your public influence never outpaces your private character.
- ​The Pitfalls of the Platform: A sobering diagnostic of the “Three Ps”—Pride, Power, and Purity—and how to build a life that is transparent and accountable.
- ​The Theology of Legacy: Discover the secret to finishing well in a culture that only celebrates beginnings, focusing on the eternal reward rather than temporary recognition.
​Strategic, Weighty, and Transformative
​Now That You Know strips away the “self-help” veneer of modern discipleship and replaces it with the “Solid” meat of the Word. It is designed to be a challenging companion for those who are ready to be pruned so they can bear more fruit. Every chapter is structured to move the reader from theory to transformation through:
- ​The Deep Heart Check: Probing reflection questions that challenge the “Seniority Gap” and force a confrontation with the “Shadow Side” of leadership.
- ​The Legacy Action: Practical, high impact assignments such as the “Paul-Timothy Audit” and the “Legacy Letter” that turn principles into a lasting inheritance.
- ​The Pastor’s Strategic Summary: A concluding guide for church leaders on how to use these truths to build a culture of health, multiplication, and integrity within their teams.
​Who This Book Is For
​If you are a Seasoned Believer, this book will provoke you. it will disturb your comfort, wake your conscience, and remind you why you started this journey in the first place. It will give you the grit to endure the “middle miles” of the marathon.
​If you are a Leader or Mentor, this book is your curriculum. It provides the framework for “passing the torch” effectively. It will help you move from being a “Ceiling Leader” who limits others to a “Floor Leader” who provides a platform for the next generation to stand on.
​From Wonder to Weight
​The goal of Now That You Know is to ensure that your life becomes a highway for the Gospel rather than a cul-de-sac of personal achievement. You have been saved, you have been taught, and you have been positioned. Now, it is time to be used.
​The honeymoon is over. The mission is calling. It is time to step into the excellence of the end.
