THE QUESTION BENEATH THE STRUGGLE
You've tried harder. The pattern returned.
You set a goal. You made a promise. You worked to improve your discipline. But when pressure arrived, the same fear, the same anger, the same need for approval found its way back into your decisions.
What if you have been working on the behavior without challenging the authority behind it?
The Battle for Authority starts with a harder question: Who, or what, has permission to govern your mind?
This book is written for people who are ready to stop treating lies as facts and start examining their thoughts under the authority of God's Word.

QUESTION 01
What authority is speaking?

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you begin
Is this book only for baseball players?
No. Baseball provides familiar examples, but the questions of identity, pressure, truth, and obedience apply to athletes, young men, parents, coaches, and believers.
Is the teaching explicitly Christian?
Yes. The book is grounded in biblical teaching and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It treats Scripture, rather than personal performance or popular opinion, as the authority for life.
Is there a companion program?
A structured training experience is being developed. See the Programs page for an overview and a way to request updates.
