When was the last time you tried something new, exciting, or even completely unexpected …just for fun ? For Dan and Sam Mathews, popular Instagram and TikTok personalities, stepping outside their comfort zone has been one of the best, most fulfilling decisions they ever made–because chasing adventure has led to incredible opportunities that they never dreamed of.

In their eagerly awaited debut book, Dan and Sam offer you a front-row seat to their unconventional life of adventure, from the everyday to the outlandish and everything in between.

So, if you have a desire for something more and are ready to take a leap of faith, then let Sam and Dan help you discover what can happen when you too always choose adventure . [Includes bonus sidebars, exclusive photos, and much more!] Somewhere between Dan and Sam’s humorous banter, courageous adventures, and insightful applications, you’ll find yourself wanting to follow their lead in choosing an adventurous existence over an average one. They remind us that just because fear is a natural place to start, it doesn’t mean you have to stay there. And that when you go places you’ve never been before, you’ll have to go past where you normally stop. Get ready to stiff-arm what’s comfortable and embrace the unfamiliar. Jeffery Portmann, pastor at Gateway Church, Poulsbo, WA, and author of Delayed Destiny We’ve known Sam since she was a preteen and Dan since he was in college. Reading this book made us not only laugh out loud at some of their shenanigans but also burst with pride at their love for God, each other, their children, and life. They are the real deal, and this book is not only entertaining (you feel like you’re sitting right there with them!) but also inspirational and encouraging. It’s a great read that’s hard to put down. We can’t wait for the sequel! Eric and Trisha Porter, founders of Backyard Orphans, backyardorphans.org I laughed, I cried, and I closed the book feeling encouraged. While reading, I was on a mini adventure of my own. This book will inspire you to step outside of your comfort zone, challenge you in your faith, and make you want to take on any adventure that comes your way. Hannah Cook, social media influencer Life often presents us with unexpected twists and challenges, but Dan and Sam masterfully remind us that these moments are opportunities for growth and transformation. Always Choose Adventure is more than a book―it’s a guide for anyone yearning to embrace the unknown, take risks, and rediscover God’s purpose in their life. With relatable stories, practical wisdom, and an encouraging tone, this book will inspire readers to keep moving forward no matter what life throws their way. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone ready to take the leap into the extraordinary! Stone Moss, founding pastor, Limitless Church I had a front-row seat watching Sam and Dan leap from the comforts of an ordinary life into the great unknowns of a life of adventure―one where the scales of risk and rewards teeter constantly and uncertainty is the only certainty. No doubt, the “leap” cost them everything. In return, it gave them everything back, plus more. Follow their lead to find out for yourself what being fully dependent on and surrendered to God looks like as you leap into whatever adventure of a lifetime God is calling you to.
