Book Rec: Welcome to Adulting by JP Pokluda

Updated: Oct 19

“We'll trust God for our eternal salvation, but not trust him in the small details of our day-to-day life?”

 

Even in my 30s, this book provided lots of wisdom and new reflection. JP reminds us that who we are is not a temporary role, or what we’ve done or what we like to do. Who we really are, and the only identity that matters in the long run, is who we will be forever. As Christians we have eternal passports to heaven; we are simply living here on a visa. I think this book provides reminders and insights for us all, regardless of your stage of adulting.

- interpersonal conflict

- controlling anxiety

- recovering from addiction

- and discovering your purpose on this earth
