BOTH FEET IN: Moving From a Divided Heart to Devoted Life

They love the Lord. They're also in love with the world. And they're exhausted from living in both.Every church has them. The faithful member who has quietly drifted while still showing up every Sunday. The sincere believer who knows their heart is divided, feels it every day, and can't seem to move. They aren't rebels. They aren't hypocrites. They're halting between two opinions, exactly as Israel did on Mount Carmel - and, like Israel, most of them are saying nothing.Both Feet In is an eight-week journey built to walk them out.Written by a pastor who spent two years with one foot in the church and one in the world before rededicating his whole self to Christ, this series meets the divided believer with honesty rather than contempt. It names the tension as evidence of life, not failure - and then refuses to let anyone stay there. Week by week, it moves people along a deliberate path: from divided to devoted to deployed back into the world as one whole person.The Leader's Edition contains everything a church needs to run the series: - Eight full sermon outlines, each with a big idea, a biblical profile figure (Israel on Carmel, Lot, Demas and Moses, the prodigal, Paul, Daniel, Peter), preaching notes, and a specific response moment- Eight small group session guides with discussion questions layered for two audiences - the comfortable believer who needs awakening and the struggling believer who needs courage- Forty daily devotionals for digital or print delivery between sessions- Eight hands-on exercises that build on each other: the Divided Heart Self-Assessment, the Trigger Inventory, the "I Will Arise" commitment, transition partners, the Babylon Card, and a personal Maintenance Plan- A Facilitator's Guide that overlays the stages-of-change framework on the biblical arc, so leaders know where each person in the room is standing and how to speak to them- A Leadership Appendix on what to do when the drifted person is a deacon, a worship leader, or a pastor - same grace, different accountability, with a restoration process modeled on Peter- A Training and Measurement Appendix with a 90-minute facilitator training session, a written referral protocol, confidentiality norms, and pre/post assessment tools- Endnotes, bibliography, and a full Scripture indexThe theology is anchored in James 4, Romans 12, Luke 15, Philippians 3, and Daniel 6. The method is anchored in what actually makes change hold: small wins, specific triggers, honest community, and a strategy for the heart.The goal was never to get people out of the world. It was to get the world out of them - so they could be sent back in.A companion Participant Workbook is available separately.
