About the Author

INTRODUCTION

180 Degrees

You face a real enemy—an enemy who seeks to destroy your family, your finances, your health, your children, and your relationships. This enemy, alongside his army of demons of the unseen world, have studied the human race for thousands of years and thrive on human destruction. That enemy and his army are the creators of your setbacks.

But there is a fighter in you! A fighter who is designed to preserve, endure, grow, and accomplish all of God’s will for your life. A fighter who is backed up by the Creator of the universe. A fighter who is clothed by the Holy Spirit and protected by His counsel.

You will face setbacks, but this only means it’s crucial you understand how to adapt and press on—and ultimately achieve victory over the enemy.

This is where you’ll begin your 180-degree turn and your new chapter in life.

In this book, I share insights learned through my personal setback, which left a path of devastation in its wake. I sincerely hope that you never face such a setback in your own life. Yet regardless of what you encounter, it’s my prayer that you are deeply encouraged after reading this book.

Indeed, we all have faced, and will face, valleys or setbacks while walking as Christians. Some people reading this book have a setback brewing or are caught in the wrath of a pounding storm right now. You will be challenged as you grow in your walk with God. But understanding where your setback began, how to prepare, and how not to fear are the keys to overcoming.

That’s why I’ve titled this book, The One80Revolution. You have what it takes to achieve victory over your setback. You have strength. You shouldn’t fear. You are smart enough. You’re confident enough. You have true greatness pouring out of your heart. This setback you’re facing isn’t going to break you—it’s in fact equipping you and setting you up for the next chapter in your life. You will pass through your valley, which means victory is yours!

Now, let’s begin to tackle your setback.

Following each main chapter of this book is a workbook section that includes reflective questions, application-oriented action steps, and pages for recording notes. The workbook sections may prove useful for independent reflection, group study, or discussion with a friend. I hope you’ll find these tools as helpful as I have, as you journey through the valleys God has allowed into your life.

My deep-seated hope and
