Hope in The Grind

Every day, you wake up and grind. The alarm goes off. Responsibilities pile up. Work demands your best. Family needs your presence. Life doesnt pause for you to catch your breath.

But what if the daily grind wasnt something to endure—but something designed to transform you?

Hope in the Grind is a 90-day devotional that meets you right where you are: in the middle of real life. Written by Matt Clarke, President and COO of Churchill Mortgage. This isnt a book from a polished theologian or a professional minister. Its written by a guy who gets up every morning, reads his Bible before anything else, and heads into the chaos of leading a company, loving his family, and trying to be the man God created him to be.

Through personal stories, business insights, and biblical wisdom, Matt weaves together six Core Convictions that will challenge how you approach your work, relationships, and faith:

· Serve Others Without Exception

· Be the Hardest Working Person in the Room

· Be the Expert

· Leave People Better for the Encounter

· Do the Next Right Thing

· Mornings Matter

Each daily reading combines real-world experiences—from mission trips to Central America, leadership lessons from legendary coaches, mistakes made in business, and victories hard-won—with Scripture that speaks directly to the challenges youre facing today.

Whether youre a CEO or just starting your career, a parent juggling responsibilities, or someone trying to figure out how faith fits into Monday morning, Hope in the Grind offers practical encouragement for the life youre actually living.

This isnt about escaping the grind. Its about finding hope in the middle of it.

Perfect for:

· Business professionals seeking to integrate faith and work

· Leaders looking for daily inspiration and accountability

· Anyone who wants practical biblical wisdom for everyday life

· Readers who appreciate honest, relatable devotionals without religious jargon

· Teams or small groups wanting to build a culture around shared values
