How would you describe your faith? Strong? Bold? Consistent? Mature? If you are like so many fellow Christians, those are words you wish were synonymous with your walk with the Lord but sadly, they arent. Why not? Step into the pages of this timely and important book to discover the potential each of us has to grow our faith. Learn to identify those stumbling blocks that get in the way of our being built up in him and established in the faith (Colossians 2:7 E S V ). The days of wimpy, tepid Christianity are over. Discover how to grow up in him, get grounded in his Word, and impact the world for Christ because small things really can become big!
Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated talk show host
Mike Novotny is one of those rare writers who is a real joy to read, and his new book, Whats Big Starts Small , is no exception. In a world filled with shallow, positive-thinking Christian books, Mike isnt afraid to tackle hard topics like pain, pride, worry, want, and having to wait. If youve ever struggled with your Christian life or been frustrated with God, this is the book for you. Its a close-up look at the threats we all face as believers and a road map to discovering our real potential.
Phil Cooke, PhD, media producer and author of The Way Back: How Christians Blew Our Credibility and How We Get It Back
Mike Novotnys humor and honesty challenged me to look at the condition of my spiritual life, consider my priorities, and pray for greater usefulness. This book will help you see how to take the next step in your Christian walk.
Steve Hiller, network cohost of Dawn and Steve in the Morning
Our justification is perfect and pure. Our Christian life in response is full of mess. How can Christians keep moving forward instead of grinding to a halt in despair and confusion? Pastor Mike takes us on the faith-life journey with humor, honesty, transparency, and wit. You will enjoy the ride!
Pastor Mark Jeske, former lead speaker of Time of Grace
Pastor Mike has a truly remarkable ability to teach familiar Scripture in a fresh, eye-opening, exciting way! This book is spiritually meaty while at the same time funny, relevant, easy to read, and ultra-practical. Im SO excited for how this book will make your faith come alive and grow deeper!
Diana Kerr, certified professional life coach for overwhelmed, go-getter Christian women
Mike Novotny has a winsome way of pointing us to the Truth that can develop giant faith from a tiny speck. Readable and engaging, Whats Big Starts Small is a difference-maker!
Dawn Rae, network cohost of Dawn and Steve in the Morning
Those who have read Pastor Novotnys devotions or heard him preach on Time of Grace will find his new book, Whats Big Starts Small, very helpful for their spiritual lives. His insights about Jesus parable of the sower are perceptive and practical. Readers will gain a whole new appreciation for Jesus message.

Exponential Potential
Up to Your Potential?
If you are reading this book, I assume you have something in common with me: in the past year, you heard Gods Word. You went to church, read devotions at home, podcasted sermons, listened to Christian radio, or scrolled through Bible passage posts on social media. You might even be one of those rare people who did all the things on that list. In fact, you might be the rarest of Christians who does all those things every week!
If that assumption is correct, let me make a second assumption about youI bet that you, like me, wonder why your faith isnt all that great. Im not talking about perfect faithyou are a saved sinner and not our sinless Savior, after all. Im talking about great faith. Strong faith. Mature faith. The kind of faith that people notice and thank God for (Matthew 5:16). The faith that produces a pure life that wins over your non-Christian friends and family, not with your evangelistic words but with your extraordinary actions (1 Peter 3:12). The faith that gushes so much love that outsiders know that you must be a follower of Jesus (John 13:35).
Im talking about the great faith that has no place for shame, self-loathing, or feeling alone since it trusts that God is for you, in you, and with you (Romans 8:31). Great faith that knows exactly what to do with a relapse, a spot of cancer, or a lifelong struggle with worry: run to the grace of your Savior, ask the Father for peace that goes beyond understanding, and rely on his Spirit to put sin to death (Romans 8:14). Great faith that casts all your anxiety on God because you have zero doubts that he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Great faith that believes that it is more blessed to give money than to receive it, no matter what tax bracket you are in (Acts 20:35). Great faith that preaches biblical truth at your own depressed heart and commands your feelings to submit to the facts of your salvation (Psalm 42:5). Great faith that trusts that the Bibles command about honoring your imperfect parents is not burdensome (1 John 5:3). Great faith that refuses to keep score in a relationship but instead makes you-first love its daily goal (1 Corinthians 13:5). Great faith that sees your childrens tantrums as opportunities to make better disciples and not simply as annoyances that make Mommy angry (Ephesians 4:3132). Great faith that sees Gods face shining upon you despite all the messiness still within you (Numbers 6:25). In other words, faith that believes what God says and behaves accordingly.
