It All Counts

Finding God Everywhere They Told You Not to Look

De: Natalia Terfa, Jeff Chu (Foreword By) - introduction

Narrado por: Nan McNamara

What if I told you that whatever it is you are doing, if it is done with love, is enough?

It All Counts is a fiercely compassionate and deeply personal exploration of faith, doubt, and the sacredness of everyday life. With humor, honesty, and theological insight, pastor and podcaster Natalia Terfa invites us to reimagine what it means to live a spiritual life—especially when it doesn't look like the version we were taught.

Through stories of grief, joy, digital ministry, nature, rituals, and rage walks around the lake, Terfa challenges the idea that faith only "counts" when it fits inside institutional boxes. Instead, she offers a liberating vision of spirituality rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and love. Whether you've been told your questions are too big, your worship too unconventional, or your body too broken, this book insists: You still belong. You are not alone. And yes—it all counts.

For spiritual seekers, deconstructing Christians, and anyone longing for a more expansive, inclusive, and embodied faith, It All Counts is both a balm and a rallying cry. With each chapter, Terfa dismantles shame-based theology and replaces it with grace, reminding us that God is not small, stingy, or confined to buildings—but present in every breath, every doubt, and every messy, beautiful moment of being human.

Let go of any preconceived beliefs about Christianity

In her 12 chapters, Natalia Terfa addresses several ways people can look at ways assumptions of faith can get in the way of believing that is free from guilt or shame.

Groups can find several topics of discussion and prayer. I can’t wait for small groups in my church to discuss these different chapters!
