Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith?
 
Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms.
 
There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises.
 
In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to
 
• believe for the impossible
• choose hope over fear
• be alert to the voice of God
• cope with loss and doubt
• develop a deeper level of trust in God
• speak faith-filled declarations
• inspire crazy faith in others
 
God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

    Great Read! I feel like the Holy Spirit spoke life into my life through each chapter in the book. It also seem to line up with each season of my life. I pray that Pastor Mike continues to be a faithful and willing vessel for the Holy Spirit

  • Small Truths in Mountains of Misdirection

    This was a mildly educational book for the young (in age and walk with Christ). Most of the book is filled with Michael Todd’s own experiences—and although I am all for the building up of the church through testimony, most of these stories seem to be less about building up the church, and more about building up himself. Where the stories should glorify God, Todd glorifies himself—talking about how great his faith is, instead of how great our God is. Crazy faith as a concept sounds great, but it is not biblical faith. I am not trying to say there isn’t any biblical grounding for the way Todd uses it, but Hebrews makes it clear that faith is evidence for our trust in God, not simply trusting God just because. I recall Todd talking about this in his book, but it takes away his definition for “crazy” faith. “Crazy” faith—as used in the book—implies a lack of evidence, yet with full confidence in God, to get something, reach a goal, or improve your life in a way that’s meaningful to you. Don’t get me wrong, we have all reason to have full confidence in God to work everything out for our good and His glory, even when we don’t see the evidence… But that is where I see the truth in his message end. Todd seems to want you to focus on what God can do for you, rather than why you can lean on every word God speaks. Faith is not meant for us to simply ask and receive. Jesus did not die on the cross for us to have prosperous, comfortable lives on earth. Jesus died that we might be saved from our sins and live a life according to His word. This doesn’t mean we can’t ask God for things, or that—if we do—He won’t give it to us unless we “need” it. God cares about us greatly, and He wants us to have the desires of our hearts. What’s we should remember, though, is that it’s more important to have full confidence that God will provide, but even if He doesn’t, to trust Him anyway. We can see a great example of this in Daniel chapter 3. Before being thrown into the fiery furnace, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego say, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." This is biblical faith and trust in God. This is what should have been the focus of Michael Todd’s “Crazy Faith.”

    This book was what I needed and more. Just when my Faith was beginning to fade I ordered Crazy Faith. I watched the Crazy Faith series at the same time not realizing it until I started making connections. If you are down on your Faith or your Faith is fractured, read this and watch the Crazy Faith series. Life changer!
  • Loved it!!!!!

    Very on point and most importantly H.O.T. I struggled a lot with faith after losing my son, and this gave me the hope that I needed to start taking the baby steps to having crazy faith!! Mike Todd shares his feelings about his son MJ and how down he gets sometimes but then is reminded through scripture and his circle of who God is and what he can do, it helped me with my loss.
