My Life As A Dyck

What happens when you spend your entire life trying to figure out God's plan-only to discover you may have been asking the wrong question?

Jeremy Dyck has spent most of his life trying to figure out exactly what he was supposed to be doing.

The evidence suggests it did not always go well.

He was born in a Volkswagen Beetle in Montana. He grew up eating whatever his dad could shoot. He hunted rats inside his house with a BB gun, drove a hearse as a teenager, got himself into trouble on multiple continents, was smuggled across an international border on a bicycle, somehow assisted with surgery despite having absolutely no medical training, and eventually met the woman who would become his wife on a tiny island in Honduras-while the locals were calling him "No Shoe."

And those are just the stories he's willing to put in the first book.

My Life As A Dyck is a funny, honest, and deeply personal memoir about family, faith, belonging, bad decisions, unexpected detours, and the grace of God that somehow keeps showing up in the middle of all of them.

Behind the ridiculous stories is a question many of us quietly wrestle with:

Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing with my life?

For years, Jeremy believed there must be one perfect calling-one career, one ministry, one place, one path God had designed for him. His job was simply to find it without screwing it up.

It took a lifetime of wrong turns to begin understanding something much simpler.

Maybe God is less concerned with what we become than who we are becoming.

Maybe the point isn't having everything figured out.

Maybe it's learning to love the people God puts in front of us along the way.

Love God. Love people.

Everything else is just part of the story.

If you've ever questioned your purpose, wondered whether everyone else has life figured out, laughed at your own terrible decisions, or looked backward and realized grace was present in places you couldn't see it at the time, this book is for you.

Come for the Volkswagens, hearses, questionable food, international incidents, and spectacularly poor judgment.

Stay for the reminder that sometimes the messiest lives make the best stories-and that God has a remarkable habit of showing up right in the middle of them.

Buckle up.

You're in for the ride of your life.
