The Gospel of Missing Out
From the Fear of Missing Out to the Joy of Being Found
What if missing out is the best thing that ever happened to you?
We live with curated lives, endless options, and pressure to be everywhere. No wonder so many feel anxious, exhausted, and spiritually adrift.
But what if the life you’re trying to hold together isn’t the life you were made for?
In The Gospel of Missing Out, Rev. Jim MacDonald invites you to face your fears head-on and discover something better: peace, presence, purpose, and belonging in Christ.
