It's Time To Grow Up: And Stop Living Beneath Your Calling

Are you anointed but inconsistent? Talented but carnal? Saved, but completely stuck?Whether looking into a high school classroom or out over a church sanctuary, the tragedy is the exact same: a massive bowl of raw, untapped potential that refuses to develop. We have a generation of believers who know how to shout, jump, and speak in tongues on Sunday morning, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, they are trapped in repetitive cycles. They have crossed their Red Sea, but they stand at the edge of their destiny, absolutely terrified to step into the promise.It’s Time to Grow Up is your ultimate wake-up call. The season for holding hands and constant spiritual babysitting is officially over.Written with uncompromising authority and "confrontational compassion," this manual will challenge you to completely stop living beneath your divine calling. Through four deliberate phases of transformation, you will be pushed to:Establish Your Foundation: Diagnose your spiritual adolescence and discover why the storms in your life might actually be "repeated classes".Shed the Graveclothes: Stop playing church, aggressively shut down your carnal habits, and learn what true integrity looks like in action.Elevate Your Mindset: Break the crippling stronghold of anxiety, leave the trauma of Lo-debar behind, and permanently reject the "dead dog" identity.Step Into the Promise: Snap the invisible elephant's rope of your past, completely eradicate the toxic "grasshopper mentality," and march into your Promised Land with giant-sized faith.If you picked up this book looking for a comfortable pat on the back while you play the victim violin, put it back on the shelf. I am not coming to your concert. But if you are tired of merely surviving, if you are ready to pull off those pull-ups, put on some stability, and aggressively claim your God-given destiny...Let's get to work.About the Author - Pastor Lamont Holifield is a dynamic apostolic voice who merges the discipline of educational leadership with uncompromising biblical authority. A native of Chicago, Illinois, he serves as the Pastor of The People of the Name Apostolic Assembly and the founder of The People of the Name Apostolic Bible College, an institute dedicated to deeply transforming believers' thinking and behavior to align with God's perfect will. He is also an ordained Elder in the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World (P.A.W.).Bringing the same rigorous expectations to the sanctuary that he brings to the schoolhouse, Pastor Holifield serves as a high school principal and instructional leader in Chicago. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, two Master of Arts degrees in Secondary Education and Training & Development, and four graduate certificates from Roosevelt University. Through his dual calling as a principal and a preacher, he developed his signature "confrontational compassion," fueled by a deep frustration of watching raw, untapped potential remain stagnant in both students and churchgoers alike.Pastor Holifield’s bold mandate for giant-sized faith is anchored in a miraculous personal testimony. In 2007, he survived a traumatic encounter with an "incurable" disease. After losing ninety pounds in a single week, medical experts gave him only two weeks to live. Refusing to die in the waiting room of fear, he experienced the miraculous healing power of God. Today, he preaches with the unshakeable conviction that no believer should let the "grasshopper mentality" keep them from walking into everything God has promised. Read more
