Motorsports Chaplain Helps Christians Find Purpose in Life’s In-Between Seasons

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – Motorsports chaplain Joey Keith draws from nearly two decades of ministry to help believers see waiting not as wasted time, but as preparation for what God may be doing next.

Gilbert, AZ – September 21, 2026 — After nearly two decades ministering within the racing community, motorsports chaplain Joey Keith is bringing lessons learned through his own seasons of waiting, burnout, and renewal to a new forty-day devotional, 40: Anchored in Him: Through a Season of Preparation (Redemption Press, 2026). Written for Christians navigating uncertainty, transition, or an unclear next step, the book explores how seasons that feel stalled may instead become places of spiritual formation and preparation.

For believers who are praying for direction but struggling to understand what God is doing, waiting can easily feel like lost time. Keith challenges that assumption. Through Scripture, prayer, reflection, and weekly opportunities to journal, 40: Anchored in Him helps readers develop steady spiritual rhythms, deepen their trust in God, and learn to move forward without requiring every answer first. Its message is especially relevant during seasons of transition, when pressure to determine “what’s next” can make faithful waiting difficult.

Keith wrote the devotional from lived experience rather than theory. His own journey through preparation, ministry fatigue, and renewal shaped his conviction that God often does significant work before the next assignment becomes clear. Rather than encouraging readers simply to endure the waiting, Keith wants them to recognize what God may be forming within them while they wait.

The forty-day progression mirrors the biblical theme that preparation often precedes calling. Beginning with surrender and repentance, the devotional moves through trust, identity and calling, service, mission, and perseverance, concluding with the challenge to remain ready, rooted, and responsive to God beyond the forty days.

Joey Keith’s 40: Anchored in Him releases in print on September 22, 2026. The e-book will be available to download for free on Amazon through September 26, 2026. Early readers are already responding to the book’s message – here’s what a couple of reviewers have said:
