Arena of Risk

Faith’s Best Seats are Never in the Stands

 

Change is in the air. After 20 years of contentedly flipping houses and raising his nieces and nephew, Jordan Penny senses God has something new for him. But what is it, and where should he begin? Across town, Matthew Marsh is navigating the transition into the director’s position at the Trevor Street Crisis Center and his new relationship with Kelly Vance.

When Micah Thompson invites Jordan and Matt on a hiking trip, Jordan dares to share his questions. Meanwhile, an excited Matt sits around the campfire with an engagement ring on hold, an offer pending on a new house, and potential in-laws preparing to visit.

But life is turned upside down when a massive storm floods the Trevor Street community. In the face of destruction, will Matt keep his commitments to Kelly and the Crisis Center? Will Jordy follow through when he discovers he holds the key to keeping the Center alive—even if it means losing everything? Could the risks be the road to the answers he’s been seeking?

Arena of Risk — A Journey of Faith

Jordan Penny is stuck. He senses God has more for him, but he has no idea how, when or where to begin. We often find ourselves in a similar place in our walk with the Lord. But do we consider that discovering the next step might require us to take a risk? Risk is part of faith—the part that turns ruts into roads.

Arena of Risk explores the necessity of stepping out of the stands and into the arena to be doers of God’s work rather than mere hearers of His Word. It reveals the power of stepping out in faith and walking where God can prove Himself in astonishing ways.

As Jordan begins to act on the things immediately before him, God begins bringing together the bigger picture. When it’s time to step out into something new, Jordan is right where he needs to be.

Arena of Risk, sequel to Shadows of Chivalry, builds on the message of chivalry and courageous faith presented in the first book, revealing that we cannot live with courageous faith without a willingness to take the risks God sets before us.
