Next: Discovering & Following God’s Path and Pace for Your Life

God has a plan; the challenge comes in knowing what comes Next. 

Pastor Mike Tedder challenges readers to find their Next. His approach helps believers and unbelievers alike discover the where and when of God’s plan. 

Next explains the biggest missteps in anyone’s spiritual journey—missing the right path or traveling at the wrong pace. According to Pastor Mike, it’s easy to take the wrong path, get ahead of God, or to trail behind, despite how essential it is for humanity to partner with God on their journey. His writing encourages readers to find and fulfill the Next God has for them.
