Stop Settling
For Mediocre.
Down is a place. Out is a verdict — and God never called you to scrape by in two areas of life and limp through the other six. Answer the count. Abundance is the assignment: spiritually and financially.
Start with the book. Then keep walking with us.
Growth is rarely loud. More often it’s the quiet, faithful step you take before sunrise — the one no one sees but Heaven.Chris McGrath
Spiritually & Financially Free
For Christians and for anyone who loves God and is done with mediocrity. This is the teaching the church rarely gets around to — and it changes everything downstream.
- Name the one thing holding you back from abundance.
- Become your true, empowered, authentic self — the one God built.
- Walk out of church mediocrity into real discipleship.
- Build abundance across all eight areas — not just one or two.
All Eight Areas Of Life
Most of us are rich in two and starving in six. Abundance means every one of them under God.
Spiritual
Your walk, first and load-bearing.
Mental
What you believe about what’s possible.
Emotional
Healed, not merely managed.
Physical
The body carries the calling.
Relational
Marriage, family, friendship.
Vocational
Work as worship, not survival.
Financial
Freedom, so you can be generous.
Legacy
What outlives you.

Bring Chris
To Your People
Direct, scriptural, and unafraid of the money conversation. Congregations leave with a decision, not just notes.
What He Speaks On
Spiritually & Financially Free
The keynote. Why financial bondage is a discipleship problem — and how a congregation gets free together.
All Eight Areas
A workshop format. Each person leaves with an honest score and a first step in their weakest area.
Beyond Church Mediocrity
For leadership teams. A frank session on why good congregations plateau, and what breaks the ceiling.
Chris McGrath
Founder of the Born To Be Alive Foundation. Author of Spiritually & Financially Free.
Chris spent years inside churches that preached a big God and quietly settled for a small life. He got tired of it. Not of the church — of the mediocrity that had made itself at home there.
He learned the difference between down and out in a boxing ring in Ireland long before he learned it in life. Down is a place. Out is a verdict. Every fighter goes down — what separates the ones who go on is a decision made in four seconds, on one knee, with the count in your head.
What he teaches now is simple and uncomfortable: God intends abundance across all eight areas of your life, and most of us are held back by exactly one thing we have never named. Naming it is where the work starts.
The foundation carries that message three ways — the book and course materials, the weekly teaching, leadership training, and the giving work of The Filipino Hope Project.
Nobody wins a round from the canvas. But nobody loses a fight there either — not until they decide to stay.
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.John 10:10 · KJV
