"Change your day by starting with prayer
What does your morning routine look like? Do you hit the snooze button a few times? Or are you up before the alarm even goes off? Maybe your day begins with brushing your teeth and getting ready, or perhaps not much happens until you've had that first cup of coffee for your quiet time. And if you have little ones, well-quiet time might not even be part of the equation!
But what if your morning routine could become more than just habit-what if it could help you prayerfully center your day on God? Whether or not you consider yourself a morning person, imagine what it could look like to rise with the sun and begin your day in prayer.
Join Tara Beth Leach for The GREAT Morning Revolution, a Bible study designed to help you change your day by changing the rhythm of your morning. You'll learn how the acronym GREAT-Gratitude, Reflect, Exalt, Ask, and Trust-can reframe your mindset and guide you into the joy that comes each morning through God's presence.
Whether you have ten minutes or a whole hour in your morning, God is already there-waiting. Not with judgment, but with joy. He delights in your sleepy eyes, your bedhead, your groggy prayers. He's not asking for perfection. He's simply asking for you.

"Many people struggle to make time for God in their busy schedules or just aren't morning people--this book addresses those issues by helping Christians establish (and stick with) a spiritual morning routine.
The practice of waking early to seek God's presence is woven into the fabric of God's word. From the Gospels to the Psalms, from the wisdom literature to the historical narratives, the Bible resounds with the call to seek God early, to set the tone of our day with prayer, and to surrender the unfolding hours to his presence.
In The Great Morning Revolution, Tara Beth Leach shares how she adopted the ritual of rising early and discovered transformative power of mornings with God--and she invites you to do the same. With practical guidance, spiritual encouragement, and a structured-yet-flexible approach, she shows you how to find serenity in the early house that will reshape your perspective and deepen your relationship with God.
The GREAT acronym provides guidance for your morning routine and can be adapted to meet your lifestyle and personal needs:
- Gratitude: Start each day with a grateful heart and recognize blessings that are often overlooked.
- Reflection: Examine your thoughts, actions, and motivations before a holy and gracious God.
- Exalt: Praise and honor God's goodness in your life.
- Ask: Present your requests to God and open yourself up to the guidance that comes from seeking God.
- Trust: Surrender to God's will, leading to peace and reassurance throughout the day.
The book also provides tools for building the discipline needed for habit formation and lasting change.
For those who desire a deeper relationship with God but have trouble setting aside time for Him, The GREAT Morning Revolution holds a promise of renewal."
"Have you found your place in God's story?
God's story is a divine tapestry, intricately woven with intention from the beginning. Every thread connects the past, present, and future, revealing a Creator who intimately leans into your brokenness and chaos to bring redemption. From the first moments of creation, when God's Spirit hovered over the waters, a plan full of shalom-wholeness and harmony-was set into motion. Humanity once walked in communion with God, but when we deviated from His design, sin began to unravel the beauty. Yet God's love and plan never wavered.
Through the Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic Covenants, we see God's faithfulness and His desire to restore creation. These promises build toward fulfillment in Jesus Christ and invite us to weave our lives into God's larger narrative.
This six-week Bible study by author and pastor Tara Beth Leach explores these sacred threads, helping you see God's redemptive hand in your life. No matter where you are in the story, there's a place for you in His plans for restoration and renewal.

"'When I discovered I was an Enneagram Six, I didn't want to be one.'
Pastor Tara Beth Leach continues, 'I hated that I was marked by fear,' reflecting on how fear and anxiety can plague a Six—whether they are pulling back from or diving right in to the things that feel threatening. She explores what it means for her to be a redeemed Six who is allowing Jesus to transform her a little at a time.
Whether you are a Six, have a Six wing, or have a friend or spouse who is a Six, you will find wisdom here as Tara Beth explores her own journey of deepening self-understanding through the Enneagram. To take you deeper, each of these forty daily readings concludes with a prayer, a spiritual practice, or a reflection question."
"Something is not right. The witness of the church in North America is eroding.
Many Christians are alarmed by the decline in church attendance and seek a culprit. Too often, we point the finger away from the church, make culture the enemy, and build walls between us and others. But our antagonism and enemy-making are toxins that further eat away at our witness. Is there a better way?
Tara Beth Leach could easily be one of those millennials giving up on the church. Instead, she is a pastor who loves the church and is paradoxically hopeful for its future. In an era where the church has lost much of its credibility, Leach casts a radiant vision for Christians to rediscover a robust, attractive witness.
We need to name the toxic soil we've grown in, repent for past wrongs, and lean into a better way to become the church that Jesus proclaimed we would be. Leach casts down idolatrous false images of God to recover a winsome picture of a kingdom of abundance and goodness. We can be sustained by practices that will tune our hearts to God's and form us into the radiant communities God intends for us and those around us."
"Throughout Scripture and church history, women have been central to the mission of God. But all too often women have lacked opportunities to minister fully. Many churches lack visible examples of women in ministry and leadership. Tara Beth Leach, senior pastor of her denomination's flagship church, issues a stirring call for a new generation of women in ministry: to teach, to preach, to shepherd, and to lead. God not only permits women to minister he emboldens, empowers, and unleashes women to lead out of the fullness of who they are. The church cannot reach its full potential without women using their God-given gifts. Leach provides practical expertise for how women can find their place at the table, escape imposter syndrome, face opposition, mentor others, and much more. Women who read this book will be inspired to use their gifts to edify the body of Christ and advance the kingdom of God. Men who read it will be inspired to embolden the women in their midst. When women teach, preach, lead, evangelize, pastor, and disciple, the church's imagination expands to better reflect God's story and hope for the world."
