“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”

Galatians 2:20

The gospel is every bit as powerful as you always knew it ought to be. Most of us were just never told the whole thing. I write to change that.

Two books for serious Christians, one for their kids, a free weekly newsletter, and more on the way.

No Longer I, by Jacob Hotchkiss
The books

No Longer I

The Life-Changing Power of Simply Believing the Truth

The Seedling

A picture book, illustrated by Casey Dye

A little seedling with no fruit yet has no way to know what kind of plant he is. His feelings can't tell him. Where he came from can. A story about identity for children, and for the parents reading it.

About

A pastor who had to relearn the gospel he was preaching.

I was a preacher and teacher inside the church, halfway through seminary, when I realized I didn't yet understand how the finished work of Christ actually does what it promises. What I learned in 2020 changed my life, and then it changed how my church works. Today I lead a growing network of house churches in Springfield, Missouri, and I write for every Christian who is tired of trying harder and seeing the same results.
