Success God’s Way

Faithfulness, Not Fame

By: Geoffrey Schmitt

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if everything you’ve been taught about success is wrong?

In a world that measures success by achievement, recognition, and results, Success God’s Way: Faithfulness, Not Fame offers a deeply biblical and refreshingly honest alternative.

Drawing from Scripture, real-life ministry, and decades of lived experience, Geoffrey Schmitt invites readers to rethink success through the lives of key biblical figures:

• Joshua — success begins with obedience
• Joseph — success is formed in hidden places
• David — success includes repentance, not perfection
• Solomon — success can become a trap
• Nehemiah — success is faithful work despite opposition
• John the Baptist — success is found in decreasing
• Paul — success endures through suffering
• Jesus — the cross redefines success completely

Through these stories—and honest reflections from parish ministry and Kairos prison weekends—this study reveals a powerful truth:

Success in God’s kingdom is not measured by what we achieve,

but by how faithfully we walk with Him.

This book is not about striving harder or accomplishing more.

It is about:

• Letting go of performance-based faith
• Discovering God’s presence in every season
• Finding meaning in both joy and suffering
• Learning to live faithfully, one step at a time

Whether you are leading others, struggling through a difficult season, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of your faith, this study will help you discover a success that cannot be taken away.

A success rooted not in fame…

but in faithfulness.
