"Why should I invest myself in something that I''m not sure does any good?" This is a question many people today are asking about the church. Data shows young people are leaving the church, especially in urban contexts. Yet as Jon Tyson will show you in this Barna Frame, the church has much to offer cities—and individuals—in the 21st century.

Whether you come with an open-mind, skeptical, or already committed to your local church, join Jon Tyson, lead pastor of Trinity Grace Church in New York City, as he makes the case for why church matters.

Discover the satisfaction of becoming the man God created you to be. In a world that’s grown increasingly confused about--and hostile toward--the very notion of masculinity, authors Jefferson Bethke and Jon Tyson send a powerful call to men everywhere: it''s time to step into the light of Jesus'' vision for you as a man.

There''s a shadow that''s settled over the hearts of men today. Masculinity is in crisis. Critiques about the dangers of toxic masculinity and the abuses of patriarchal systems have grown louder than ever. The very notions of masculinity and manhood are under attack. In response to cultural shifts, some have doubled down on old stereotypes in ways that just add to the conflict and confusion.

The result? Many men simply feel paralyzed--worried about saying the wrong thing, unsure what to do with their ambitions or strengths, simultaneously tempted and shamed by a hypersexualized and pornified culture. Our models and mentors have failed us. Based on their years of working in men''s ministry, Bethke and Tyson have good news for men looking for clarity and courage in this age of quiet desperation. In Fighting Shadows, they help men:

An entire generation of men is being told they should abdicate the responsibility and joy of living into God''s calling on their lives—don''t be one of them. If you''re a man who''s wondering what to do with your strength, your longings, and your gifts, it''s time to step out of the shadows. Jesus has a vision for you.

Discover a faith that goes beyond doubt and reveals how God continues to fulfill his promises today just as he did in biblical times, unlocking true purpose and fulfillment in our busy, modern lives.

Where is the life God promised us?

In the midst of our fast-paced schedules and endless distractions, we often push God to the background, struggling to believe that his promises are still relevant. He seems distant, and the abundant life Jesus spoke about doesn''t seem possible. When we hear that God wants to give, say, and show us more, we assume it''s just a rumor. But what if God really is calling us to something more--a life of deeper purpose, fulfillment, and peace today and right now?

In Rumors of God, Jon Tyson and Darren Whitehead challenge us to reimagine what it means to live a life shaped by faith. They invite us to close the gap between the promises we''ve heard and the reality we experience, helping us see how God''s presence and power are at work even in our modern, everyday lives.

This book is more than a reminder--it''s a call to rediscover a God who is active, present, and moving among us. For those feeling weary, jaded, or uncertain about how faith fits into today''s world, Rumors of God offers a fresh perspective on God''s timeless promises.
