the Little Big Life: Quieting Noise to Discover Secret Place with Jesus

If you're facing burnout, overwhelm, or anxiety--busy doing good things for God yet missing out on intimate relationship with him--The Little Big Life by bestselling author and CEO Kristen Welch will help you find lasting, life-changing intimacy with God by taking a step back, surrendering everything, and sitting in solitude and silence with him. You can love God sincerely--and still feel exhausted, empty, and quietly disappointed with your spiritual life. Does it ever feel like despite doing all the "right things," you're still worn down by constant striving? Many believers feel trapped in a cycle of overcommitment and performance, wondering why intimacy with God feels elusive when they're trying so hard to be faithful. Kristen Welch knows this struggle firsthand. As a bestselling author, nonprofit founder, and CEO, she chased meaningful impact with everything she had--believing purpose would follow. Instead, success left her burned-out and spiritually depleted. When she pressed pause and chose solitude and silence with Jesus, she discovered a kind of intimacy she hadn't known before--one that reshaped how she understood identity, calling, and rest. The Little Big Life speaks directly to that tension and offers a different way forward--one rooted not in doing more, but in finally learning how to be still in the presence of God. Through this book, you'll learn how to: Step off the treadmill of overcommitment and resist the patterns fueling burnout Release the pressure to "have it all" and embrace a life marked by soul-deep rest Build a quieter, steadier faith anchored in who God is and who he designed you to be Reconnect with God in simple, sustainable ways that restore peace and clarity This is not a call to retreat from responsibility--it's an invitation to rediscover the freedom that comes from living rooted in Christ rather than driven by expectation. When you learn to notice God in the small, ordinary moments, you'll find the life you've been longing for was never about doing more. It was about remembering who (and whose) you have been all along.
