Cover of God, We Gotta Talk by O. B. Levy

God, We Gotta Talk

A faith-based book for readers wrestling with real questions, real faith, and the search for God in a complicated world.

Faith does not fall apart because of hard questions. It often falls apart because we are afraid to ask them.

God, We Gotta Talk is an honest, reflective exploration of the questions many people carry but rarely say out loud — questions about anxiety, exhaustion, injustice, waiting, doubt, and what it means to trust God in a complicated world.

Written for people who are navigating pressure, uncertainty, and the tension between belief and lived experience, this book creates space for conversation rather than offering quick answers or polished clichés. Each chapter centers on a real, lived question and responds with Scripture presented in a way that is thoughtful, accessible, and grounded in grace.

This is not a book for people who have everything figured out. It is for those who are still willing to talk to God honestly, even when the answers feel incomplete or unclear. Through reflection and biblical insight, O. B. Levy invites readers to see faith not as certainty, but as relationship — one that can hold questions without fear.

If you are searching, questioning, or trying to reconnect with God, this conversation is for you.

God, Dating Is Hard Out Here

A practical and faith-centered look at love, dating, and learning how to love without losing yourself.

God, Dating Is Hard Out Here is a raw, compassionate conversation with God about modern relationships, heartbreak, healing, and becoming whole. Through honest reflections, short prayers, hard truths, and guided journaling, this book meets you in the middle of unanswered texts, lonely nights, and starting over.

This isn't a dating manual. It's a space to breathe. A place to tell the truth. A reminder that you don't have to lose yourself to find love.

Inside these pages, you'll explore:

  • Why modern dating feels so disconnected
  • How to recognize emotional unavailability and unhealthy patterns
  • The impact of trauma, loneliness, and delayed adulthood
  • Why standards are protection, not pride
  • How to heal while you wait
  • What it means to prepare for love instead of chasing it

Written in a prayer-forward, emotionally honest voice, this book is for anyone who feels tired of starting over, unsure about love, or ready to grow emotionally and spiritually.

Whether you're single, healing from heartbreak, stuck in situationships, or learning how to set boundaries, this book invites you to slow down, reconnect with God, and become whole before your next relationship.

You're not broken. You're becoming.

Featured Author

Jergen “CoachCam” Campbell

Jergen “CoachCam” Campbell is a retired U.S. Marine Mustang, father of three, comedian, author, podcast host, and resilience advocate whose work centers on service, connection, leadership, and helping people move from surviving to thriving.

His journey began with resilience early in life. After completing the 8th grade, Jergen entered the Commonwealth Challenge Youth Academy program for at-risk youth at age 16, earned his GED, and went on to join the Marine Corps. That path shaped his passion for perseverance, leadership, service, and human connection.

He has been married to a Marine for the last 22 years and is the father of three, including one child who is currently an active-duty U.S. Marine. Through his podcasts, Real Resilience Talk and Quick Gems of Resilience, he creates space for honest conversations, practical wisdom, and stories that help people move from simply surviving to truly thriving.

His work centers on a simple but powerful belief: connection is protection, and our stories can help someone else through their darkest moment. As CoachCam says, “Like it or not, we are all we got.”

Cover of All Things Considered: 33 Gems of Resilience by Jergen Campbell

All Things Considered: 33 Gems of Resilience

A reflective collection of resilience-centered lessons designed to encourage readers through challenges, growth, and personal transformation.

This book is a collection of thoughts and reflections born from the everyday struggles and triumphs of the human experience. Rather than offering polished solutions, it provides an honest glimpse into the pursuit of resilience.

Life is full of moments when we question ourselves, falter, and feel overwhelmed. But this journey doesn't have to be faced alone. With perseverance, small shifts in perspective, and the simple yet profound wisdom of past philosophers and modern thinkers alike, the path to personal growth becomes clearer.

Endurance isn't achieved through grand gestures but through small, daily decisions that may seem insignificant yet add up to something greater. Consistency is the quiet force that pushes us forward when everything else tells us to stop. Resilience is not about avoiding storms — it's about learning to navigate them with strength and clarity. And even when we stumble, it's the willingness to rise again that defines us.

The wisdom shared in these pages isn't academic — it's earned from life experience. The kind that reminds us that growth often occurs in our hardest moments. These reflections are not about perfection, but about embracing the imperfections that make us human. Every setback, failure, and challenge is part of a larger journey. We can always change direction, find new perspectives, and reach for something greater.

This collection isn't a guide to becoming flawless or "better" than others — it's a reminder that our trials and triumphs cultivate the inner strength required to become our best selves. If even one quote or thought resonates with you, sparks a moment of clarity, or gives you the courage to push on, then it has done its job.

Here's to resilience, perseverance, growth, and the endless pursuit of living to our full potential.
