My Big Dash – From Church Hurt to Church Healing: A Journey through Philippians is a transparent and hope-filled invitation to see life’s “dash” — the short line between birth and death — through the lens of the gospel. In this first volume of the My Big Dash series, Jeff Stevens guides readers through the book of Philippians with honesty, pastoral warmth, and practical application.
Having personally experienced deep wounds of church hurt and the pain of being pushed out of ministry, Jeff doesn’t write from theory but from the trenches of suffering and restoration. He shows how the Apostle Paul’s letter overflows with joy, humility, perseverance, and gospel-centered identity, even in the midst of trial. Each chapter blends biblical exposition with real-life stories, counseling insights, and reflective practices designed to help readers not only understand Philippians but also live it.
This is not just a commentary — it is a companion for anyone who has been broken by people, discouraged by circumstances, or left questioning their place in the body of Christ. The message is clear: Christ is faithful, the gospel is sufficient, and healing is possible.
Life is lived in the dash between our birth and our death. That “Big Dash” is marked not only by the joys we celebrate but also by the trials we endure. My Big Dash – From Trial to Triumph invites readers on a pastoral journey through the book of James, showing how God uses suffering, testing, and the refining fire of hardship to produce perseverance, maturity, and hope.
Through honest storytelling, biblical exposition, and gospel-centered application, Jeff Stevens guides readers beyond the ditches of pretending and performing into the path of genuine faith. Here, trials are not accidents to be avoided but instruments in the hand of a loving God, shaping us into the likeness of Christ.
With transparency drawn from personal loss and church hurt, Jeff weaves together Scripture, counseling insights, and real-life experiences to remind believers that victory does not mean the absence of pain but the presence of Christ in the midst of it. From the testing of faith in James 1 to the call to steadfast prayer in James 5, this book reveals how every trial can be transformed into triumph when anchored in the gospel.
Whether you are in a season of struggle, walking with someone through hardship, or simply longing to grow deeper in Christ, this book offers both hope and practical steps to live out your dash with perseverance. Because in the end, triumph is not found in self-effort but in the grace of God who carries us from trial to glory.
My Big Dash – From One to One Another is the third and final volume in the My Big Dash series, completing the journey from Hurt to Healing (Philippians), through Trials to Triumph (James), to the life we are called to live in Christ—loving one another.
In this book, Jeff Stevens explores the New Testament’s “one another” commands, showing how they shape the legacy of every believer’s dash—the brief line between birth and death. Love, forgiveness, encouragement, hospitality, and bearing one another’s burdens are not optional extras; they are the very heartbeat of the Christian life.
Drawing from Scripture, personal story, and his ministry through Kingdom Way Revival and Kingdom Way Counseling, Jeff demonstrates how these commands are not merely ideals, but practices that transform relationships, churches, and communities. With warmth, transparency, and gospel-centered clarity, he invites readers to see that the true measure of a life well-lived is not perfection but perseverance—and above all, love.
For anyone who has wondered what their Big Dash is really about, this book offers a clear and hopeful answer: your dash is meant to tell a story of Christ’s love, lived out in community and extended to others.
