What is Journeying to The Broad Place?
Rooted in Christ
Connected in community
Sent into purpose.
In a world full of noise, burnout, and disconnection, many disciples of Jesus Christ are searching for a faith that’s both grounded and life-giving.
Journeying to the Broad Place offers clarity and courage for those navigating spiritual fatigue, relational wounds, and cultural confusion. It invites readers to rediscover intimacy with Christ, find healing within Kingdom community, and step boldly into their God-given calling.
In these uncertain times, this book is a timely guide for those who long to live deeply rooted, intentionally connected, and purposefully sent.
Part 1: The Inner Journey
Confronting Complacency
When the fire fades, faith can quietly settle into complacency. The Inner Journey invites you to confront the silent drift and rediscover a passionate, personal connection with Christ.
Nothing is Wasted
Crises can leave us shaken, but God never wastes the broken places. These chapters help you uncover divine treasures buried in the ashes of loss, disappointment, and hardship.
Clarity in the Gray
We live in a world where right and wrong are often blurred. The Inner Journey offers biblical truths and spiritual insight for navigating life's complexities with wisdom and discernment.
Part 2: Living & Loving in Community
Kingdom Connections
True spiritual growth isn’t forged in isolation but through the often messy, beautiful work of doing life with other disciples of Jesus Christ. These chapters explore how love, purity and alignment to Truth form the foundation of strong Kingdom relationships.
However, when the Church wounds us, it can feel easier to walk away than to heal. This section offers a path toward restoration and discernment, reminding us that while God still works through imperfect people to build His Church, He is the perfect Shepherd.
Therefore, in a culture of division and moral confusion, loving like Jesus requires more than good intentions. In this section we learn it demands humility, a fresh perspective on eternity and a willingness to let go of our 'pet' grudges.
Part 3: Living Sent: From Local to Global
Pressing Forward
You can’t move into your calling while looking back in awe of where you’ve already been. These chapters help you release the victories and comforts of the past to press forward into the high calling God has prepared for you.
Anointed to Influence
You weren’t saved to play small—you were set apart to shine. This section reminds you that your daily life, voice, and presence carry Kingdom authority wherever God has placed you.
Global Impact
God is not just calling you to personal wholeness, but public witness. Discover how to become an agent of hope and justice—meeting real-world needs with Spirit-led conviction, Spirit-infused courage and Christlike compassion.
What You Will Discover
Practical Spiritual Tools
Engage with reflection prompts, biblical truths, and guided prayer that supports your daily walk. Learn how to cultivate intimacy with Christ and build resilient, grace-filled relationships rooted in Kingdom principles.
Kingdom Focused Guidance
Discern your God-given calling and learn to steward it for real impact—from your home to the nations. Uncover how your voice, story, and presence can reflect God's justice, mercy, and love in tangible ways.
A Renewed Sense of Purpose
Step into clarity about whose you are, why you’re here, and where God is leading you. This book is more than inspiration—it’s a call to live boldly, love deeply, and rise into the extraordinary life of a Christ disciple sent with purpose.

Award & Endorsement
"Reading "Journeying to The Broad Place" by Rhonda Gardner was such an enriching experience that prompted deep reflection.
The author embodies the role of a true disciple, guiding readers on a path of spiritual growth through her own personal journey with Jesus. Her writing is marked by authenticity and a heartfelt desire to uplift others, making her voice feel like that of a trustworthy friend. She doesn’t shy away from delivering hard truths, encouraging readers to confront what needs to change in their lives. As I turned each page, I felt a sense of lightness, as if I was shedding burdens and engaging in a healing process that drew me closer to our Savior. The experience was liberating, allowing me to release the weight of my past and embrace the freedom that comes with forgiveness.
One of the most profound reminders I took away from the book is the notion that while we live in this world, we are not of this world. Gardner emphasizes the importance of fully surrendering to Jesus, trusting in the path He lays out for us, and committing ourselves to His will. This call to prioritize our love for God above all else is a powerful message that encourages us to keep our eyes fixed on Christ as our guiding light. It’s a refreshing perspective that challenges the distractions of modern life and invites us to cultivate a deeper relationship with our Lord.
Additionally, I was particularly struck by Gardner's insightful exploration of community dynamics. Her wisdom in addressing the complexities of relationships within a community was both eye-opening and practical, providing readers with valuable tools for navigating these interactions. I also appreciated the reflective exercises and closing prayers at the end of each section, which added a thoughtful touch to the reading experience. Overall, this book is not just a journey of self-discovery; it’s a call to action that inspires growth and encourages us to contribute positively to the world around us. It’s clear that God is using Rhonda Gardner as a vessel for good, and her work has the potential to ignite meaningful change in the lives of many." - Louise Jane, CEO The Christlit Book Award - Goodreads
