Are You Ready to Stop
Just Knowing About God
and Start Experiencing Him?
What is the John 7:17 Challenge?
Think of it as a nearly hand-held, step-by-step, discipleship journey through the commands of Jesus Christ, filled with real-life application and insights for learning to walk with Christ by faith.
Far too many "Christians" are living today as worried, confused, frustrated, and fruitless "believers", rather than true disciples. Jesus promised life to the full (rest Mat 11:28, peace John 14:27, contentment John 4: 14, provision Mat 6:33, freedom from sin John 8:32, fruitfulness John 15:5, and joy John 15:11), to all of his faithful followers who are willing to intentionally learn and practice his teachings. The average Christian can only recite five to ten of Christ's commandments. There are approximately 112. It's no wonder, so few have the abundant life.
Let Kim John Tell You Why You Should Take the Challenge!
Of all the testimonies I’ve ever received about the John 7:17, this one is the most dramatic! Such a beautiful testimony of Christ’s love for the severely broken!
She Didn’t Even Want the Book!
“If I had to leave all my stuff behind and take only two items,
I would grab my Bible and The John 7:17 Challenge.”
- Barb Schaetzle (02-16-2025)
Barb Schaetzle was given a copy of the original John 7:17 Challenge by a friend. She didn’t want to read it, but she also didn’t want to be rude, so she put it on her bookshelf, where it collected dust for a few years.
And then one day…now in her 70’s, she was led to pick up the book. It impacted her life so much that in 2024, she purchased 20 additional copies of the book to give away to those the Lord would lead, including her pastor!
After her third time through the Challenge, she sent us the lovely handwritten testimonial below. Then, in April of 2026, we reached out to Barb to send her a copy of the new updated 10th Anniversary printed edition.
Barb replied saying, “Thank you so much!!!! What a treasure!!!!! I’ve been thinking about going through the book again, for the FIFTH time. I will now wait for my precious gift to arrive. Can’t wait. Also my Amish friend is so glad I gave her one of your books a few months ago. She sent me a text thanking me. It is making a huge difference in her life!”
“If theJohn 7:17 Challenge were available fifty years ago, when I was wonderously saved and born again, I would not have made as many mistakes as I have, or believed the wrong teachings of well-meaning godly ministers. Because of these beliefs and my own misinterpretations of Scripture, I almost threw Michael’s book in the trash a few times. I could not argue with the many Scripture passages Michael uses to support his writing. On my third trip through his 90-day study, my daily walk with Jesus has been revolutionized and my wrong thinking has been corrected. If I had to leave all my stuff behind and take only two items, I would grab my Bible and The John 7:17Challenge.” - Barb Schaetzle (02-16-2025)

“Hi Michael, Michelle and I are working through the books. The books are awesome! The insight and revelation is amazing. We are so grateful and thank God for them. I am studying the book every day, and pray that these teachings are written in my heart! I love and am excited that we are heading for the narrow gate! I strongly believe your book is an answer to prayer for me!” — Justin Torok, Australia
“The Lord delivered me from deep darkness after I fully surrendered my entire life to Him. I was flooded with such a joy and peace that I have never known before. Soon after, I found the John 7:17 Challenge book and found a treasure of truth to help me build a strong foundation with Christ. This book has been such a blessing to me. By now I have purchased 20 extra copies to give to others who are seeking the whole truth!” - Jared Taibi
“Michael, Thank you for your faithfulness in writing the John 7:17 challenge. This is probably the best study we have done in the past three years of meeting together. From day 1 God has been using this to do a mighty work in my life. The level of conviction with which you write and speak in your videos has inspired me. God has used you to do a fantastic job in this book. ” - Hector Febres - Orlando, FL
