Pumpkin Spice Faith-by Tom Faber
Pumpkin Spice and Spiritual Substance
Full Grit Ministries & Publishing was founded on a simple but powerful belief: real faith meets real life right where it hurts. We create books and resources that are always clean, boldly faith-centered, and unafraid to wrestle with the gritty parts of the journey. Whether it’s fiction, devotionals, or discipleship tools, every project we publish is rooted in biblical truth and written with honesty, heart, and hope. What sets Full Grit apart is our commitment to stories that don’t gloss over the mess but instead show how God’s grace shows up in the middle of it.
At Full Grit, we believe the best stories are the ones that don’t sugarcoat life but show how God meets us in the middle of it. Whether you're looking for a gripping novel, a devotional rooted in Scripture, or a small group resource that sparks real conversation, you’ll find truth, hope, and heart in every page.
Full Grit Founder, Tom Faber speaks the way he writes, with honesty, clarity, and a deep passion for helping people walk out their faith in everyday life. Drawing from years of ministry, farming, and personal experience in the trenches of everyday chaos, he delivers messages that are practical, Scripture-rooted, and easy to connect with. Whether he’s encouraging men to lead with integrity or challenging believers to trust God in the hard places, Tom’s approach is always authentic and impactful. He is currently available for speaking engagements at churches, conferences, and retreats, and welcomes the opportunity to serve your group with messages that speak to both the heart and the struggle.
Real faith. Real stories. Real life.
Written by Tom Faber, pastor, author, and founder of Full Grit Ministries & Publishing, this blog is where honest faith meets everyday grit.

With a voice forged in the fields and refined by the Word, Tom shares devotionals, reflections, and biblical insight for people who want more than surface-level religion. If you're looking for truth that stands up in hard times and hope that sticks through the storm, you’re in the right place.
Pumpkin Spice and Spiritual Substance
There was a time when the pulpit shook with holy boldness. Preachers thundered the truth, and nobody wondered where they stood. They didn’t preach to be liked; they preached so souls would be saved. People left church with hearts pierced, sin exposed, and lives changed. But now, in too many places, the boldness has seeped out instead of exploding forth. What should be a blaze of truth has cooled into a whisper of compromise.
“Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the one who brings destruction.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3, NLT)
This post comes from the sermon I preached this past Sunday at Jonesboro Christian Fellowship. The message was titled Ready or Not… Here I Come… and it focused on what the Bible says about the return of Christ and the end times. For the blog, I want to step back and take a more informative look at the subject. The goal here is not to stir fear or repeat what was said in the pulpit, but to lay out why these things matter and how they connect to what’s happening in the world today.
Words are never empty. They build or they break. They either breathe life or they drain it. Too often, people live under the weight of careless words that were spoken over them years ago. Maybe you still hear echoes of someone saying, You will never make it. You are not good enough. Nobody cares. Those words sink deep and try to set the tone of a life.
It is no secret that life has gotten expensive. For many of us, the cost of housing, groceries, utilities, and even the basics has skyrocketed. Income has not kept pace, and the pressure is real. You feel it at the grocery store. You see it in the stack of bills on the counter. You hear it in the conversations of friends who are quietly wondering how long they can keep this up.
