Just Show Up: How Small Acts of Faithfulness Change Everything

A Guide for Exhausted Christians

If someone puts one more thing on my shoulders, I might collapse.

Bestselling self-help book titles tell you that you’re brilliant, awesome, powerful—usually with an expletive thrown in, just to pound home the point. Do these affirmations feel accurate? Instead of blasting through projects and conquering the world, most of us feel like we’re crawling uphill.

But Christians are still called to live a life that glorifies God and blesses others. How do we do that when we’re stretched to capacity? Just Show Up answers that question with a liberating message: God doesn’t expect you to do everything. And He certainly doesn’t expect you to do it all overnight. Simply showing up is often the most important thing.

This book looks at present-day examples and also stories from Scripture of imperfect people used by God. Moses, by his own admission, wasn’t very eloquent, but he showed up and God used him to liberate and lead His people. We name churches and children after the disciples. But originally, they were just a bunch of uneducated nobodies with one thing in common: when Jesus said, “Follow me,” they showed up.

With humor and candor, Dyck reflects on his own faltering progress while recounting inspiring stories of how God rewards the persistent presence of ordinary people. Just Show Up challenges readers to show up for God, family, community, and themselves.

We tend to think it’s the big, bold moments that matter. In reality, it’s the steady accumulation of small acts of obedience to God that add up to a life of meaning and impact. –Dyck

Refreshing look at our simple Christian duty

Drew does an excellent job of sharing a realistic vision on how to be obedient to God even in the Munding of our ordinary lives. Encouraging, humorous, relatable , and convicting.  Cannot over state how helpful this book is for every day believers. Absolutely loved it.

Captures the essence of the book.

I listened to it through, pausing to take some notes to myself. It has an easy thesis and very practical everyday actions one can take. It does not over promise or demand from you more than you can do in whichever context you are in.

Just Do It!

This is one of the best and most challenging books out there. Drew Dyck pulls no punches unless he is using himself as the punching bag. He is so honest about himself that I laughed out loud a few times. He also does a great job narrating his own book. Want to draw closer to Christ? Read this excellent book. Mark Geiser,

An encouraging read

This was encouraging and counter cultural in the best ways. I believe it’s very faithful to a biblical model for how to live our lives.
