Check out my latest book, The New Young Christian Field Guide. Faith is a tricky terrain to navigate and I hope the themes and ideas throughout the book and the questions at the end of each chapter inspire you to go farther and love Jesus more! This project is basically the result of my many conversations I have had pastoring youth, young adults and the church throughout the years being a pastor in my community. My heart is that this book would be used to inspire more conversations, lead to more questions and help you make even more spiritual progress in every area of your life. I hope you enjoy it! -Alan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1581998072927-FG94CVITPUQ42D4IP1M0/Screenshot+2020-02-17+21.54.16.png The Forward Disciple https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1596647207679-6XCKL67KY7K6FE2C47A8/NYC_IG_Cover_2.png The Forward Disciple https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1596900671779-SCGMIZ5P2FJX2D347LFT/image-asset.jpeg The Forward Disciple - Influence articles: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1597270345822-54ZZEXOIGOBOBEMW02N3/644CA866-7C48-4A82-981B-6DE299A3F850.jpg The Forward Disciple - Outreach articles: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1597269580084-4REIH9YG0RCDF3Y3D6WU/802030BE-66E0-4FCC-9C74-87EF2D249D81.jpg The Forward Disciple - Q A R A articles: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1581997740286-MXV1YC3Q3YBQILEJ5G7L/blunt.png The Forward Disciple https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1534772187391-Y05AGAON964KI7W2MBV9/Unknown-3.jpeg The Forward Disciple https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1596902842840-27L1VK0UP577BCR3CQRZ/CB19D40B-8F50-487C-97B8-84E9267189BD.png The Forward Disciple - COMING SOON: ROGUE SAINTS Rogue Saints run head-first into Christian skepticism.

I’m Alan. I help Pastors and Christian Leaders advance in faith and life. This has been my mission since I became a follower of Jesus - helping people find traction to move ‘Forward.

I find joy and am successful in helping pastors and leaders around the world find traction again by discovering and developing their unique design, their team health and their workplace culture. I have enjoyed over 25 years of speaking, mentoring, coaching, and leadership training. My goal for you is for you to become the Chief Forward Officer (CFO) of your personal and professional life.

Across ten powerful chapters, you’ll journey from the monastery of safe routines into the wide-open skies of possibility. You’ll learn how to defy gravity by breaking free from the weight of sin and shame, how to dream again, find lift through the strength of community, and how to cultivate spiritual rhythms that keep you soaring instead of burning out. Each chapter closes with Small Group Questions and the Find Your Wings Framework—a hands-on exercise designed to move you from inspiration to action so your faith doesn’t just grow in theory, but in practice. From stories of Moses’ reluctant leadership to Mary of Bethany’s fearless devotion, from Peter’s storm-tossed step of faith to Joshua’s leap into the unknown, When Monks Fly is packed with biblical insight, real-life stories, and the kind of encouragement that makes you want to risk again. This book is more than words—it’s an invitation. To leave behind the safety of your current life and to climb the roof with trembling hands, spread your wings, and leap into the life God has waiting for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/110adb12-807c-4b7f-ba09-fc318ab69846/6.png WhenMonksFly - Every Leap Begins with One Small Step. When Monks Fly is a call to courage in a world weighed down by fear and routine. Inspired by the true story of Eilmer, the flying monk of Malmesbury, this book invites you to climb past the walls of comfort, face your fears, and take bold leaps of faith. Through powerful biblical insights and real-life stories, you’ll discover how to rise above shame, embrace your God-given identity, and step into the life you were created to live. It’s not just about dreaming—it’s about daring to leap. Chapter Themes From the Book: Get Your Head in the Clouds – Restless dreams aren’t distractions; they’re God’s invitation to something greater. More than a Monk – Your true identity isn’t where you are, it’s who God says you are. Think Outside the Monastery – Faith begins when you step out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. Defying Gravity – Sin pulls you down, but zeal for Christ gives you lift. Lord of the Wing – You weren’t made to fly solo—find your tribe and rise together. Work the Wind – Align your rhythms with God’s flow and watch momentum carry you forward. Soar Like No One’s Watching – Freedom comes when you stop performing and start living for God’s applause. Stay in Your Yes – The secret to soaring is daily faithfulness to the One who called you. Time to Soar – Don’t just dream it—jump, risk, and trust God to lift you. …and much more! https://www.alanpastian.com/end daily 0.75 2020-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/1602101283100-B01O04IQ9X1252HX6F8I/PNG+image-03CFA2012E46-1.png End https://www.alanpastian.com/forwardco daily 0.75 2025-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/22869737-53dd-4436-a5cb-e3b550e7ce93/Screenshot+2025-07-14+at+1.08.02%E2%80%AFPM.png Forward Co. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/0c4cf35b-ad5e-4993-938f-afe47229ff1d/Screenshot+2025-07-14+at+1.08.02%E2%80%AFPM.png Forward Co. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5578a4bde4b0a43bb658dbae/36260b1b-fb35-4163-8171-46187b3d82a8/2%3A3headshot.jpeg Forward Co. - Stuck isn’t your story.
