Ping: a prompt from the Holy Spirit; a heavenly signal in search of an earthly response

Church leaders, The Ping Life is a framework for living an authentic Christian life filled with peace, happiness, and purpose — one where you’re free to enjoy the blessings God has given you while still having an impact for God’s Kingdom.

Ping 
noun:
a prompt from the Holy Spirit; a heavenly signal in search of an earthly response

So many Christians feel like it’s on us to save the world – to solve every political and social problem or lead every person we meet to Christ.

We’re plagued by guilt when we spend our time and money doing anything else, and we feel like failures when we realize we can’t do it all. Hello, overwhelm, exhaustion, agitation, and burnout!

There has to be more to the abundant life Jesus promised.

The Ping Life is a framework for living an authentic Christian life filled with peace, happiness, and purpose — one where you’re free to enjoy the blessings God has given you while still having an impact for God’s Kingdom.

Praise for The Ping Life!

The Ping Life is challenging, humorous, insightful, and empowering. I have observed Shane's Ping Life, first-hand. I have seen a number of the pings heeded and even a couple of ping-whiffs. His vulnerability is disarming, and his studious approach to scripture is encouraging. I find myself emboldened to listen carefully for God's next ping in my soul.

With The Ping Life, Shane begins with the basic elements for following Jesus. But then he goes further, inviting us into a posture poised to hear the still small voice that calls us into the heart of God and the good life. This book is lined with stories and illustrations that make the abstract work of hearing from God both practical and attainable.

Shane Bishop's latest book, The Ping Life: How to Pick Up the Signal when God is Calling, brings a fresh perspective on listening for the prompts of the Holy Spirit (which Shane calls pings). In it, Shane weaves together personal stories and Scriptural insight, helping us all to discern God's promptings better. It's an easy read with life-changing implications. In a helpful section describing how we can better spot God's pings, Shane points out that pings prompt us to action and often lead us into a crisis of faith. But when we follow, that's when the fun stuff begins! Shane's writing is easy to read, humorous, and worth reading. I'm pleased to recommend his new book to you.
