Chapter 1: A Knock That Changed Everything

Hello there,

Welcome to Week 1 of our book club journey! Each week, we’ll unpack a chapter of God’s G.O.A.T. — diving into its powerful lessons and discovering how God’s champion traits can transform our lives.

This week, we’re opening with Chapter 1: Suicide! Not Today!!

📝 Chapter 1 Summary:

In the bitter cold of a winter night, Marta stepped out of her comfort zone. Pregnant. Exhausted. Unsure. Yet she chose obedience over fear, driven by a quiet conviction that wouldn’t let her rest. She walked across the icy parking lot to a parked police car, her breath visible in the freezing air. Inside, Officer Godinez sat with a loaded gun, ready to end his life.

What happened next was nothing short of divine intervention.

Marta offered him a small wooden cross — a symbol of hope, a lifeline in a moment of despair. That knock wasn’t just about one life saved. It was about the power of perseverance — the champion trait of this chapter — and how it can break cycles, heal wounds, and transform entire communities.

🕊️ Reflection Questions:

• What does “perseverance” look like in your life right now?

• Where might God be nudging you to knock on a window you’re afraid to approach?

• Who in your world might need a symbol of hope — even if it’s small?

Each week, we’ll gather around these themes — not just to read a book, but to build a community that lives out these truths.

📚 Coming Soon: The Print Edition!

Next Week’s Chapter:
Chapter 2: Not Deadly DUI — where we’ll meet Deputy Turk and see how God uses even broken roads for His glory.

Until next time — stay faithful, stay strong.
