"If you watch the news even for a few minutes or scroll through your Instagram feed, you'll see arguments, protests, and downright hate thrown around everywhere! So how are we as Christians supposed to live when the larger culture around us is quick to make compromises? I'm thankful to my friend Mike for addressing this very question in his new book. It's not about fighting back against culture, and it's not about going quiet either. Instead, as Jesus followers, we're called to be deeply rooted in what we know is true. Searching for calm in the chaos like so many of us are? Don't miss the wisdom Mike has to share!" -- Adam Weber , lead pastor of Embrace Church, podcaster, author "My good friend Mike Tatlock has written a book 'for such a time as this.' A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture reflects Mike's years of ministering here in Portland, Oregon, a city that's been at the epicenter of so many of the cultural tensions facing our nation. There are time-proven ways that we, as the church, and as individual followers of Jesus, can work for the shalom of our cities and neighborhoods without compromising biblical truth. Anyone burdened by the season we're in and looking for practical ways forward needs to read this book." -- Kevin Palau , CEO, Palau "As a fellow pastor and leadership coach, I found A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture to be one of the most timely and transformative books I have read in years.

Mike Tatlock speaks directly to the pressures leaders and believers are facing in today's cultural climate, offering not only a clear diagnosis of the moment we are living in but also deep and practical biblical solutions. His insights into rootedness, identity, and spiritual resilience are pastorally wise and prophetically bold. This book strengthens the heart, sharpens conviction, and calls the church back to a faith that stands firm, shines brightly, and engages the world with courage and compassion. It is a message every Christian and every leader needs right now." -- Benjamin Lundquist , Pastoral Coaching and Leadership Development; host of the Rise and Lead Podcast "My friend Mike Tatlock has always been a model for how to be a Christian on mission in a context of hostility and compromise. I've seen his ministry in the flesh--and he has modeled what it means to live faithfully in a cultural context swirling with difficulty, chaos, and pain. This book is a testimony to that fruitful ministry. And it is a gift to the church as he is sharing his secrets for faithfulness.

I commend this. And hope you find it a helping hand from an elder brother ahead." -- A.J. Swoboda , associate professor of Bible and Theology at Bushnell University; author of A Teachable Spirit "Mike Tatlock is a pastor who combines an all-in heart, a deep wisdom for living a disciple's life, and riveting writing. He brings deep biblical and pastor insight to lead readers to A Compelling Faith in a Compromising Culture . Enjoy his author skills and grow to the joy of the life of a Jesus follower." -- Gerry Breshears , Professor of Theology, Western Seminary "Mike is a master at keeping faith practical, and this is proof.

'Deep yet simple' is how I describe the content. Follow his lead through this journey and you just might discover a freedom you never knew existed." -- Chuck Bomar , entrepreneur, author, and President & COO, Barna Group.
