Find the fearless faith you've been longing for when you learn to let go of expectations and embrace your deepest convictions.

Join adoptive mom, Army wife, and influencer Kendall Mariah as she shows you how embracing the uncomfortable friction that comes with leaning into the big questions of faith is the pathway to a deeper relationship with God than you ever imagined.

You've followed the rules: go to church on Sundays, marry the right guy, seek the wisdom of God, keep everyone comfortable, and don't voice questions that keep you up at night. But you find yourself wondering, Is this what being a Christian is supposed to feel like? Is this what God has planned for me?

Kendall found herself asking those same questions. She felt the disconnect between her beliefs and her lived experiences, between her values and what she saw happening in church. And it started her on a journey that completely reshaped her faith. In This Little Fire of Mine, Kendall shares her story of embracing holy discomfort and shows you:

• How doubt can lead to discernment, questions can lead to clarity, and spiritual angst can transform your heart and guide you to a deep inner peace
• The importance of pursuing an integrated life where your words and actions reflect the full truth of Scripture
• Why good friction is healthy and can bring people together and reshape your family and community
• Why it's safe to take your doubt, anger, and fear to Jesus and how it can help you develop a more meaningful relationship with him

This Little Fire of Mine is a guide for pressing boldly into a faith that can withstand your questions, discovering how to anchor your identity in Christ, and refusing to hide your life, even if it makes others uncomfortable.

This Book Stokes the Fire!

Kendall’s stories and how she intertwined hard learned truths about God and the challenges she faced were inspiring. But then she flips the script and presents an opportunity for everyone to wrestle with their faith because our God can handle the heat is edifying to the body of Christ. She doesn’t gloss over the hard things and gives real applicable opportunities as if she’s a friend in the same room talking it out with you. Her voice is like drinking a cold glass of sweet tea and you can hear her heart shine through the text. Bravo Kendall, way to honor the Lord with your words and encourage others to come along side of you being and building the body of Christ.

Stories of faith told with heart and humor

I’m so glad the author read this herself. Her sweet southern accent made it feel like she was telling her stories over a glass of sweet tea. Touching on neurodivergence, grief, infertility, adoption, and military life, Kendall shares the truth that it’s OK to have doubts and to wrestle with your faith. Loved this so much!
