New Book – Pain to Praise

“Available Now on Amazon: Get Yours Today!”

Your pain is not your identity.

“This isn’t a textbook; it’s a window into my own heart. For a long time, I let my suffering define who I was and how I saw the world. But I discovered that the Holy Spirit doesn’t want to just help us ‘get over’ our pain—He wants to transform it.

In Pain to Praise, I invite you to walk beside me as we learn how to let go of bitterness and find a deeper, more beautiful connection with God and the people around us.”

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Ultimate Guide to Building a Healthy and Fulfilling Marriage

Strategies for Forgiveness, Love, and Grace

Grace is the foundation of a lasting home.

“A great marriage isn’t the result of two perfect people coming together; it’s the result of two people who have mastered the art of grace and forgiveness. I’ve spent decades mentoring couples, and I wrote this guide to share the practical, biblical principles that sustain a home. Whether you are just starting out or looking to restore what has been broken, there is a path to a marriage that is truly fulfilling.”

TESTIMONIALS

What People are Saying

“Austin’s talk impacted me. His story and faithfulness were compelling and inspiring. People were helped to further live out and share their faith”

Chief Marketing Officer, Christian Community Credit Union

“I heard Austin Gardner speak at the C-Suite for Christ Conference in Wisconsin. His honesty and vulnerability touched me deeply as he unpacked his three brushes with death, subsequent recovery, and who was there to help him. He spoke about having your priorities right, knowing who you are as well as your purpose, and also about being prepared in private like King David was. It was excellent. But what impacted me the deepest, was how the Holy Spirit spoke through him directly to me, with words I had shared with a friend just the week prior: How we need to be bigger on the inside than on the outside. This is something I’m currently seeking. Throughout his presentation he repeatedly asked a compelling question. Why am I alive? He not only asked himself, but encouraged us to ask ourselves as well. Austin delivered a powerful word that I still carry with me.”

DANIELLE
Speaker | Coach | Author

Austin’s prowess as a speaker is equally impressive. As a Certified Speaker
with the John Maxwell Organization, he expertly blends biblical wisdom
with practical insights that are immediately applicable. His delivery style is
both engaging and informative, leaving audiences inspired and equipped.
From the business perspective, I’ve seen Austin’s entrepreneurial spirit at
work. His understanding of principled leadership and strategic thinking has
been instrumental in the success of the organizations with which he has
been involved. His ability to translate biblical principles and leadership
concepts into a business context is a rare and valuable skill.
