Godly Grit
Unshakable Resilience & Grit
For Life & Leadership Be unshakable.
We all face regular challenges that drain our joy and tempt us to quit. Life, leadership, and ministry are hard. When we expect life to be easy, difficulties shake us to our core. If we avoid hard things, we stay weak. But when our trust is anchored in God, challenges no longer define us. They transform us. Godly Grit is not about willpower or mental toughness. It is about a heart set on God and a mind anchored in His truth. This book will help you face fear, resist discouragement, and trust God in hard circumstances. God can make you unshakable. “I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken” (Psalm 16:8). As leaders, our challenges aren’t just about us. They are opportunities to show that God can be trusted. We lead by example, either by fear or faith. God wants unshakable leaders, not those easily shaken. This is the book I wish I had before starting ministry and leadership. Written from years of hardship and leadership pressure, Godly Grit offers biblical perspectives forged in pain and refined by Scripture. It is a companion you can return to in the middle of challenges to realign your heart and regain perspective. If you feel called to live for Christ and lead others to follow Him, the key is not escaping challenges, but growing the strength, courage, resilience, and grit to endure faithfully. Will you lead others to trust God by being unshakable? To receive an update when Godly Grit is available, sign up for "Blog and Resource Updates" at the bottom of this page.

Overflowing
Ministry and Missions
That Flow from the Heart Discover how to be used of God and hear “well done”. Want to grow in Christ? Want to be used by God as a “vessel for honor” (2 Timothy 2:21)? Want to hear “well done”? (Matthew 25:21) In our zeal to glorify God and be used by Him, we have a tendency to rely on doing things for God. However, when God chose to use certain individuals in the Bible, it wasn’t because of their efforts or abilities. God was looking at their heart. God wants worshipers who work, not workers who worship. There is a vast difference between the two. God still searches hearts. Will you be found by God as pleasing to Him? You can become a person that is useful to God—not because of the great things you do, but because of a heart that pleases Him. Who you are is more important than what you do, because what you do flows out of who you are. The goal of this book is to see your service to God become an overflow of the heart. You cannot minister from an empty cup. Make your life count for eternity! |
About Kyle Farran

Growing up as a missionary kid in Papua New Guinea and feeling personally called to missions at 16, I feel like my whole life has been about missions.
In 2000 I married my beautiful wife and God has given us three wonderful daughters. We left for South Africa as ABWE missionaries in 2007. For the next eight years we learned Zulu, opened a HIV/AIDS Hospice Care Home, and trained Zulu pastors. Since 2015 I have served as a Regional Director for ABWE, living in East Africa and now in Western Europe. It is a joy to lead and develop missionaries, helping them fully live out their calling. I received my Master of Ministry in Organizational Leadership from Clarks Summit University. I am an ICF-credentialed life and leadership coach, and a licensed instructor of The COACH Model®. My passion is to help others to "taste and see that the LORD is good" (Psalm 34:8) and to "keep [their] heart with all vigilance" (Proverbs 4:23). We currently live in Lisbon, Portugal where I love hiking with my family, reading, exercising, and exploring remote places on my motorcycle. |
"Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life."
Proverbs 4:23
