Description

Could God change the world through seemingly average, ordinary people like you and me? One Thousand Risks is proof that Jesus can set you up to discover adventure in abundance. With an all-out-fight against comfort, fear, and living half-heartedly present, One Thousand Risks will help you know how to experience a super-powered life of spiritual significance. Your problem is fear--mostly the fear of man, fear of failure, and fear of rejection. In response to a dare, I began deliberately and consistently fighting fear--one tiny risk at a time, right where I was--which translated into this awkward, awesome life with Jesus. Have you ever sensed that you were created for something grand? Something way bigger than you could pull off on your own? You were designed to carry more power than any instrument on the planet. What if you left the unremarkable old for life in the messy, extravagant new? Take a risk; your Father is king of the universe. To discover spiritual significance in the messy, extravagant new, visit http: //www.chadisliving.com or http: //www.onethousandrisks.com.

Author Biography:

Hi! My name is Chad. I'm a Jesus follower, people lover, reader & writer, husband, father, fan of quality coffee beans, Nashville-style Hot Chicken, and creatively crafted ale. Beth, and our amazing kids, Sydney and David, share life with me in the rolling hills of West Nashville, TN. Twelve years ago I was living in Seattle as a successful Christian music industry guy climbing a great career ladder. But, I was also living in sin. I was addicted to drugs, pornography and myself - struggling to love Jesus, let alone anyone else. Around the time my sin was at it's best, someone gave me a copy of Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper, which was when I realized I was doing just that: wasting my life. While driving into the office one day, God powerfully met me. I sensed Him asking a question while simultaneously breaking through my hardness of heart; "Why are you fighting Me?" Right there, during the morning rush hour on the Seattle viaduct - hopeful none of my commuting neighbors were noticing - I broke down crying, weeping even, confessing my sin and asking Jesus to give me the kind of story He wanted to write over my life. Fast-forward a few years and I was at a conference in Minneapolis when I still-small-voice heard the Holy Spirit answering my Seattle prayer from years earlier with four simple, bold instructions: 1. Make your life all about Jesus. 2. Stop worrying about money. 3. Make disciples of artists and others. 4. Give yourself away. That was when my true calling came - at the peak of industry success - an unexpected, undeserved twelve-year career that had securely affixed my name to an album or two. Five days after the conference, I put in my music-industry resignation to begin awkwardly stumbling after Jesus. I was one part impassioned and three parts foolish. I cashed out 401(k), gold plaques, my record collection and the unremarkable old for a messy, extravagant new that has led me - reluctantly - to every continent on the planet. Obedience is what every single Christian is called to, even if that looks drastically different for you than it does for me. Following - actually trailing after - Jesus, wherever and whenever He leads, is the greatest joy and yet the easiest place where we fail. Had I not listened to what Jesus was telling me back then, I would not have this story to share with you now. To obey is better than sacrifice, to listen than the fat of rams. - 1 Samuel 15:22 What if you took only one risk to love God and neighbor as you love yourself? How much would your own experience - not to mention the whole global world - turn upside down? Equipping you for a life of risk is why I'm here. If God can move through me, He can flow through you. Fear is not your friend. Take a risk, your Father is King of the Universe.
