Life Out Loud
Does your faith feel stagnant, lifeless, or boring? Do you long for a more meaningful expression of following Jesus?
In Life Out Loud, Rowland Smith describes his own journey as a gifted worship leader and pastor who had grown bored with the incomplete and unsatisfying rhythm of religion his church experience offered. Rowland discovered an exciting life of following Jesus beyond the walls of the church, joining in God’s mission in everyday places with everyday people. Soundly framed by practical theology, personal reflection, and experiential knowledge, Rowland charts a course we can all walk, and invites you to discover an adventurous life of faith—your own life out loud.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Rowland helps to remind us that mission is not simply one activity of the church, alongside several other equally important activities.But instead, God’s mission is the organizing principle of everything we do as followers of Jesus. If you want to better understand what it looks like to engage God’s redemptive mission in the places you live, work, and play, then read this book.”

“Embracing a life of simple mission is both profound and beautiful. In Life Out Loud, Rowland plots a course into that life, entreating us to stop being afraid and to do what we know we can do, and be who we know we were meant to be.”
