“You’re Gonna Make It will give you the kind of resilience that doesn’t just help you survive hardship, but helps you bounce back even stronger.”—Levi Lusko, lead pastor of Fresh Life Church and bestselling author

Most of us are just trying to get through the next twenty-four hours . . . let alone being ready to deal with the stress, anxiety, and suffering that arise when least expected. 

But it’s possible to move from fear and worry to the positive anticipation life should hold. See, there’s a way to survive the maddening chaos of this world, but it is only found in Jesus.

Pastor and author Daniel Fusco discovered this the hard way. He’s experienced his share of loss, including the death of loved ones. Through diving into the Bible and deep times of prayer and reflection, Daniel has found a new closeness to Jesus and uncovered a way of resilience, perseverance, and grit. 

Jesus never promised a life of ease. He promised to be with us through everything. God can create good from all things, leading us into His promise of abundant life. We can persevere in hope. Right here. Right now.

You can persevere in God’s promise. Because you’re gonna make it.

Strategy is exactly what you will find in the pages of this book. Daniel will hand you the tools to persevere when life hits so hard you want to quit.

Most people are simply trying to get through the next twenty-four hours, and are often not ready for unexpected bouts of stress, anxiety, and suffering. Author and pastor Daniel Fusco believes it’s possible to transition out of fear and worry to the positive anticipation life should hold. His new book, You’re Gonna Make It: Unlocking Resilience When Life Is a Mess (Waterbrook; on sale 9/13/22), is a guide to preparing for and surviving the maddening chaos of this world.

“I always say that life is messy, but Jesus is real,” writes Fusco. “And He has an amazing way of meeting us in the middle of our messes….Clenching our teeth and hanging on isn’t going to solve suffering!”

Fusco discovered this path the hard way. Losses like the death of his mother led him to dive into the scriptures and to spend time in deep prayer and reflection. Through this journey, Fusco found a new closeness to Jesus, ultimately allowing him to uncover a life of resilience, perseverance, and grit.

Talking Points include:
• Understanding where resilience comes from and what spiritual disciplines help us walk in it
• How to thrive in hard circumstances
• Trusting in God’s sovereign plan of restoration and renewal and letting him renew our plans with His
(Daniel’s story of how his earlier plans to be a full-time musician “took a back seat to His plans”)
• Unlocking fear of the future and replacing it with faith by keeping focused on Christ
• Gaining a vision of true, eternal hope, like the apostle Paul had
• Suffering has a purpose in God’s kingdom
Jesus never promised a life of ease, but He did promise to be with us through everything. Daniel Fusco’s story
and guide is a testament to how God can create good from all things and lead us to His promise of abundant
life. We can persevere in hope. Right here. Right now.
