Stop Settling for Less: Moving from Ziklag to God’s Promised Expansion

Pastor James Coffey of The Harbor Church in Laleah, Tennessee joins Philip Cameron to unpack the powerful message behind his new book, Stop Settling for Less — and the remarkable revival story that inspired it. At the close of 2024, Coffey received three words from God: pursue, advance, expand — a divine mandate he unpacked as "pursue my presence, advance my kingdom, and I will expand your borders." What followed was months of intense opposition, building challenges, and municipal battles that tested the church's resolve before a scheduled summer revival changed everything. Drawing on the story of David at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30), Coffey explains how discouragement can cause believers to settle far short of their God-ordained inheritance. "Ziklag may be a place for a season, but it's not a place to settle," he says — and the fruit proved it. In the 15 weeks following their revival, The Harbor saw 174 people commit their hearts to Christ, baptized 53 in a single service, and broke their 11-year attendance record three Sundays in a row after launching a second morning service. Stop Settling for Less is available now on Amazon. If you or someone you love is pressing through a Ziklag season, this episode — and this book — will reignite your pursuit of God's best.
