A new book and a new podcast!
Hey friends,
Hope you’re well! A couple of quick updates for you:
First: my new book releases this week! Its called “How Can I Feel Closer to God?” and it’s all about taking the leap from knowing about Jesus to actually getting to know Jesus.
You can read the first chapter for free here.
And if you’d like to pick up the rest of the book, you can do so here or here or here, or wherever you buy books!
Hope you love it! Here’s what my publisher says about it:
“Sooner or later, kids ask big questions about themselves and their faith: If God is real, why doesn’t he feel real? How can I make him seem less far away? What does a relationship with Jesus actually look like? What about when going to church or reading the Bible just feels boring and pointless? Christian Studies teacher and school chaplain Chris Morphew has been answering big questions from kids for over a decade. In this fun and fast-paced book, he shows children how to grow in their relationship with God through the ordinary yet powerful habits of everyday discipleship: prayer, Bible reading, church community, rest and simplicity. Lively stories and illustrations make this book easy for 9-13s to engage with. Readers will be helped to develop a vibrant, living and life-altering faith of their own as they learn to walk with Jesus day by day.”
Also: I helped start a podcast!
If I was a proper author, it would have been a promotional tie-in podcast, discussing the themes of my new book and encouraging you to buy it. Instead, my friend Tom French and I have created a podcast where we catch up each week and talk about how our youth groups went last Friday.
I am loving the regular opportunity to compare notes and share ideas with another youth leader. If you’re in some kind of youth ministry, you might enjoy listening in too!
Chris and Tom’s Youth Group Podcast is available on every podcast platform I’ve heard of and (thanks to Tom) a bunch I haven’t. I hope you love it!

PS - I might not have made a promotional podcast for the book, but I did at least make a promotional video
