All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus Is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World

by Heath Hardesty

Feeling fragmented and longing for wholeness? Pastor Heath Hardesty reveals how apprenticeship to Jesus can reintegrate your life, offering a fresh vision for spiritual formation that leads to true human flourishing.

“Heath Hardesty is a pastor whose emerging voice needs to be heard.”—John Mark Comer, New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

In a world of burnout, shattered attention, digital overwhelm, and spiritual disconnection, many have lost sight of the greater story they were meant to inhabit.

All Things Together is a winsome invitation to rediscover that story through a re-imagined vision of apprenticeship to Jesus—one that brings coherence to the scattered pieces of our lives and cultivates peace in a divided world.

Rooted in a deeply biblical three-part paradigm, Pastor Heath Hardesty shows how in apprenticeship, union with Jesus is the origin, abiding and obeying Him are the essence, and imaging Him is the aim. Weaving scriptural wisdom, pastoral insight, and blue-collar experience, he gently guides readers into vital practices for a reintegrated life and a renewed sense of what it means to be truly human.

Whether you’re a seeker, a seasoned follower of Jesus, or simply longing for something more whole and alive, All Things Together will ignite your imagination and equip you to draw closer to God as He transforms you into a person of greater love, lasting joy, and radiant wholeness.

Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Random House Christian Publishing Group for this early digital copy of All things Together. I really enjoyed this helpful book on what it means to be an apprentice to Christ. And let's be honest the Lord of the rings analogies made it fun! It was similar to John Mark Comer's Practicing the way but that didn't take anything away from having read it first. Hardesty is a fantastic writer and gave lots of practical ways of what it looks like to be a follower of Christ. He gives personal examples from his own life that helps the reader to understand the Union-Abiding & Obeying-Imaging model. This was a rich read with sound theology and profound insights. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to grow in their faith and apprenticeship to Christ.

This is a brilliant and exceptionally thoughtful book on the modern intricacies intersecting culture and Christian theology. Hardesty's explanation of why our approach to following Christ is like our modern day apprenticeship is relatable and consistent across the book. His experiences make the anecdotes at the beginning a chapter an integral part of the message which is rare for Christian books in my opinion. I gained a lot from this book and highly recommend picking it up!
