What do you do when your prayers sound like cover letters and your purpose smells faintly of hand sanitizer?
Welcome to Children's Ministry by Day, Job-Seeker by Night, a laugh soaked, faith filled, and glitter covered journey through the sacred messiness of purpose, patience, and divine timing.
Alex never set out to become a children's ministry assistant. It just sort of happened-one Sunday, one signup sheet, one fateful Sure, I can help with crafts! later, and suddenly he's knee deep in Goldfish crumbs, juice box theology, and five year olds who think every Bible story ends with snacks. It's chaos. It's beautiful. It's sanctifying.
But when corporate life calls-with its clean breakrooms, steady paychecks, and illusion of purpose-Alex trades crayons for conference calls. What follows is a season of waiting, wandering, and wondering whether he walked away from his calling or simply into another kind of classroom.
From mop closet miracles to Wi-Fi prayers, from toddlers asking Does Jesus have a job? to job interviews that test both patience and theology, Alex's story is an honest, heartfelt chronicle of what happens when God seems silent-and how grace speaks louder in the stillness.
This isn't a polished how-to guide on faith. It's a me-too confession from someone who's lived through the tension of wanting answers and finding laughter instead. Through humor, heartbreak, and a whole lot of humility, Alex discovers what most of us eventually do: that God's sense of timing is strange, His sense of humor is wild, and His faithfulness is the only thing that never runs out.
In Children's Ministry by Day, Job-Seeker by Night, you'll find:
- Honest reflections on waiting seasons that feel like forever.
- The beauty of rediscovering purpose in the most unexpected places.
- A reminder that God doesn't need perfection-He just needs your yes.
- Proof that miracles don't always look like mountains moving. Sometimes, they look like folding chairs being set up for Sunday school.
With warmth, wit, and just enough chaos to make you laugh out loud, this book celebrates the kind of faith that doesn't always feel holy-but always finds its way home. It's a modern-day parable for anyone who's ever tried to balance hope with heartbreak, or calling with a job search.
Because sometimes, God teaches you patience through toddlers.
Sometimes, He hides miracles in mop closets.
And sometimes, He uses Goldfish crackers to feed your faith when nothing else makes sense.
If you've ever been caught between God's plan and your own panic, if you've ever tried to hold your calling together with duct tape and prayer, or if you've ever laughed in the middle of a breakdown just to keep from crying-this book is for you.
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll remember that even in the waiting, even in the wandering, even in the job applications and the juice boxes-God is still working.
And if you're lucky, you might just find a little bit of yourself in the story of someone who learned that faith doesn't always shine-it sticks, sparkles, and sometimes smells suspiciously like glue.
