Not Counting: No shame. No scoreboard. Just Jesus.: A Christian Guide to Moving Beyond Shame, Burnout, and Performance Religion
😔 Are you exhausted from trying to be “enough” for God?Many Christians live with a hidden scoreboard in their hearts tracking every success and failure, counting the prayers prayed, the Bible chapters read, and the sins confessed. When life goes well, we feel close to God. When we stumble, we feel unworthy, distant, and ashamed.
This performance-based faith can look spiritual on the outside, but inside it leaves us tired, guilty, and afraid we’ll never measure up.
What if you could lay down that scoreboard forever?
✝️ A Grace-Filled InvitationNot Counting is a heartfelt call to leave behind the exhausting cycle of striving and step into a life rooted in God’s grace. Pastor Steven Martin draws from Scripture, personal stories, and years of pastoral ministry to show you that God isn’t tallying your failures, He’s inviting you into deeper relationship.
📖 In These Pages, You’ll Discover How 🛑 Recognise the subtle ways performance-based faith keeps you trapped in shame.
🔓 Break free from the lie that God’s love depends on your behaviour.
🌿 Live from grace instead of striving to earn it, allowing peace to replace pressure.
📆 Practise simple rhythms that keep you close to Jesus without slipping back into legalism.
🤝 Walk with others in a community where it’s safe to be honest, heal, and grow together.
❤️ Who This Book Is who feel burnt out, spiritually dry, or stuck in cycles of guilt.
New Christians wanting to start their journey on a foundation of grace.
Long-time churchgoers ready to trade “religion” for authentic relationship with God.
Small groups and Bible studies seeking honest conversations about faith and freedom.
🌟 What Makes Not Counting Different?This is not a book of quick fixes or spiritual “hacks.” Instead, you’ll
Real stories from people who’ve wrestled with performance-based faith and found freedom.
Biblical truth from the New Living Translation (NLT) presented with clarity and warmth.
Practical tools to help you walk daily in the reality that God is for you, not counting against you.
Imagine waking up tomorrow knowing that you are already fully accepted, fully loved, and fully free before you lift a finger to “do” anything for God.
That’s the invitation of Not Counting.
