Bestselling pastor and author Matt Chandler invites believers to rediscover their passion for God in his newest devotional, Awake and Alive: A 30-Day Challenge to Revive Your Faith, Chandler speaks directly to those who feel spiritually burned out, stuck, or simply longing for something deeper. Chandler offers a clear and practical roadmap to spiritual renewal through daily Bible passages, reflections, journaling prompts, and actionable challenges that help believers move beyond apathy and back into vibrant, purposeful faith. “In today’s world, it’s easy to drift,” says Chandler. “Awake and Alive is an invitation to stop sleepwalking through your relationship with God—and instead step into the life of passion and purpose He offers.” In a sit down interview with Jamaal Bernard, pastor of Christian Cultural center Chandler opens up about his own walk with the Lord, his family and where he thinks the local church in America is headed.
