The Overcomers: God's Vision for You to Thrive in an Age of Anxiety and Outrage

by Matt Chandler

Are you ready to live fully prepared and fully equipped to handle anything life throws at you? As Christians, we can be courageous and confident, knowing that God has placed us in human history for His purposes, and He will empower us regardless of our circumstances. Drawing on the book of Revelation and historical examples, The Overcomers will put steel in the spines of believers and remind them of the fierce, conquering, commanding authority of God over all the earth.

You were made for this exact moment in human history. Things may look gloomy, and you may feel discouraged, but because of the promise and hope found in Scripture, you can be brave, confident, and victorious today!

In The Overcomers, Matt Chandler reminds readers that they don't have to be anxious or afraid of anything in the present or in the future because both have already been won. We are not victims but overcomers—and we are a key part of what God is working out in our day. God is at work in the mess, just as He has always been, and He continues to accomplish His purpose of seeking and saving the lost.

In this book, believers

Find courage and confidence from fellow believers who have gone before us.Feel empowered as God reminds them of His promises fulfilled and yet to come.Understand the strategies, tactics, and deceptions Satan uses to try to keep us paralyzed with anxiety and fear.Learn to live a victorious Christian life marked by the power and presence of God. 

The apostle John wrote his letter to a certain group of people in a particular place at a specific time. Although it was written to them, it was also written for us. The Overcomers takes a chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation rather than a line-by-line deep dive, helping readers practically understand what God wants to say to us today through this extraordinary book written thousands of years ago. Believers will be reminded that they are uniquely wired and uniquely placed in this moment in history as part of God's big plan to push back darkness and to establish light. Christ has overcome, and in Him we, too, are the overcomers!

Reviews

[Stefanie Flack · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has totally changed my perspective on the book of Revelation. Revelation used to seem hard to understand and invoked fear in me-now I see it in a much more positive and encouraging light. Highly recommend.

[Kristi Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Matt has written a timely piece for any culture. A book of encouragement in not only what the Christian believes, but the why, stirring one onto new hope of Gods work to reconcile the world back to himself and His invitation for us to take part. The Overcomers is a great read for young and old levels of faith. An avid Bible reader or not, the book gives fresh perspective that will motivate you to want to dive deeper into your relationship with Jesus and others in the church body. God has called us to live out our faith and The Overcomers show us why in a beautiful depiction of Revelation.

[Joshua Biggs · Rating 5 out of 5]

A timely book.

I listened to Chandler preach through Revelation at The Village a couple years ago and really benefited from it, this book is no different. His preaching, and this book, are timely words of encouragement for the church to keep being faithful, look to King Jesus, and take some swings at the enemy. The book is a walk-through of Revelation with a balanced mix of textual commentary and present day application.

The thesis of the book is simple: Jesus wins, therefore so do we, come what may. We were made for this day, and Jesus won’t stop building his church. This is why Revelation was written, to encourage God’s people to hold fast to Jesus amidst suffering! Not as a prophecy road map that wouldn’t be applicable until 2,000 years after it was written. I think Chandler does a good job of reclaiming a book meant to encourage God’s people that’s often used to confuse and scare them.

Would recommend to anyone. I listened on Spotify, and Chandler does the narrating so it’s a great listen.

Loved this book and enjoyed being able to study Revelation with this by my side this season.
I felt like Matt Chandler did amazing in how he spoke of Revelation. I always felt intimidated and lost reading this, but the way he broke everything down was super helpful! Loved this and highly recommend anyone to read this if they want a better understanding of Revelation!

[Addy Gaines · Rating 4 out of 5]

Revelation is a something I’ve been wanting to really study and this book was a good reminder that it should be nothing to fear, but instead an overflowing cup full of hope. This was the perfect primer to begin. He pulls from well known giants like: David Campbell, Eugene Peterson, and St. Augustine. This was practical, tangible, and encouraging.

“Apocalyptic literature like Revelation wants us to feel something as much as it wants us to know something.” - Matt Chandler

I attend The Village church in Flower Mound, Texas (where Matt is a lead pastor) and this book is an extension of this church’s heart to encourage believers living in today’s cultural moment.

Before I read The Overcomers, my view of Revelation was that of a confusing novel that one day I will hopefully understand when Jesus comes back to get me. I had no idea that God’s purpose for including these chapters in his Word was to “embolden (our) confidence in the King of kings and Lord of lords, come what may.” My goodness, we have a living and victorious KING!

Matt authored a book that is meant to peel back the curtain of what God has been doing since the beginning of time. He shows us the beauty of this text in a simple and spirit-filled way so that we may understand “ultimate reality” and charge forward with great boldness.

It’s impossible to over-recommend this read for anyone, Christian or not, that desires a relatable understanding of God’s unending love and victorious story seen through the book of Revelation.

[Carson Knauff · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don’t know if I’ve ever been more excited for a book to be released than this one. Matt Chandler’s Revelation series he did in 2021 is one of the greatest collection of sermons I’ve ever heard. It was what the church needed to hear, it was sharp, it was courageous, and it put a fire inside of myself and everyone I’ve spoken talked to that listened to it. On top of that it is the best teaching on Revelation I’ve ever heard. But it’s quite difficult to recommend 10 plus hours of sermons that you have to seek out and compile yourself.

So it may be just my fault for overhyping this but I found this book disappointing. Chandler’s approach to the Revelation series was taking back The Gospel hope we have lost by deeming Revelation too confusing. Chandler’s approach in this book is your special and times are touch but don’t worry you’re special. I get it, not a lot of people are going to buy this off of the Barnes and Noble rack if it’s just a Revelation study but parts of this feel more like a pep talk instead of a call to action.

It may be simply Chandler is a better preacher than writer. I find his sermons to always light a fire in my soul and call me to be the most mature Christian I can be . While this book felt like an editor kept reminding Chandler to include more overcomers language and write to freshman in high school Christians. There is still great teaching in here and bold biblical truth it’s just not up to the level of the original. Maybe I’m being too hard on it and I’ll enjoy it more if I ever read it again but until then I’d rather they put all the sermons together in one giant YouTube video.

[Bear · Rating 3 out of 5]

First off, I love Matt Chandler and his preaching. His Revelation series is one of my absolute favorites.

I enjoyed this book but I also was a little disappointed. I am a fan of the Overcomers podcast and thought the book would be more like that - stories of people who have faced tremendously difficult circumstances and who have come out on the other side with deep faith.

While I appreciated the insight on Revelation, I wish there had been more stories from people he knows who have been through hard things and come out the other side standing with God and not abandoning their faith.

Very good read if you are looking for an explanation of Revelation that brings comfort to us in the last days we are in!

Book 8 of 2025

This is another stellar message by Matt Chandler. I’ll be honest, I didn’t even look at the book description before I started it. Based off the title, I thought I was getting a book about anxiety, but if I’d read the overview, I would’ve known it’s a breakdown of the book of Revelation. It threw me off initially. I couldn’t figure out why there was so much talk of Revelation. 😂 Truth be told, it was the best teaching I’ve heard on Revelation because he does such a good job of explaining difficult concepts in ways you can understand. I highly recommend this one!

Format: audiobook (hoopla) — I always prefer his books on audio because I find his voice so engaging.

[Eric Garber · Rating 5 out of 5]

Coming in the context of it being based off his sermon series in 2021 is helpful. Matt is somehow both firm in his convictions regarding the message of Revelation to believers but also understanding of alternative perspectives. He stays to true to his course of highlighting the encouraging nature of John’s letter while also challenging the Christian to consider his/her life in light of humanities inevitable march toward the second coming of Jesus and His Kingdom along with Him.

One of my favorite books by Matt. A very simple, clear, and helpful dissection of Revelation. Describes well what it is, and more importantly what it isn’t saying.

Excellent teaching on the book of Revelation and how it pertains to our lives right now. I listened to this and now I have to buy a print copy so I can go back through it and annotate like crazy. A powerful read.

Revelation is so difficult to understand but I thought Matt did a good job of explaining it.

[Erin · Rating 5 out of 5]

An encouraging chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation that helped me look at things differently and feel encouraged that I am an overcomer.

Definitely had some perspective shifts with Chandler's insights and am looking forward to carrying them with me as my Bible Study group studies Revelation verse by verse this coming year.

[Trying out a new non-fiction rating system for myself to give some nuance to reviewing Christian books. If anyone reading this cares to help me sharpen my categories, I'm all ears!]

Rating: 3.5 stars

Blurb Review: I greatly appreciate Chandler's heart in this work to encourage believers to see Revelation not as a scary, confusing apocalypse to be avoided but rather as what it originally was meant to be: an encouragement to the church! However, doctrinal differences would lead me to caution just anyone from reading this - some of his interpretations do not line up with my understanding of the rest of Scripture and need to be picked through.

Theological Accuracy: 5.5/10
On page 201 Chandler quotes Augustine: "In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, love." In the essentials, Chandler is strong and I agree with what he has to say about the big-picture doctrines of salvation and the Bible and eternal destiny (etc.) so I can give a good baseline mark for this category. However, in the 'non-essentials', his specific interpretation of Revelation differs greatly from mine. That's ok - many smart people land in a different camp than I do and I don't believe he has any core issues wrong - but since this is a book specifically meant to teach on Revelation, I must lower my score in this category.
He also had a tendency to "fit" some messages into chapters of Revelation that I'm not sure really come out of the text. I think the idea was to build a comprehensive worldview in regards to conquering sin and the enemy and living passionate lives for God, but study of just Revelation itself does not lead to all the application points that Chandler emphasized.

Theological Depth: 7/10
This book does a good job of pointing out and referencing other parts of Scripture throughout which is key to understanding Revelation. There are no blinders on about 'prophetic calendars' or narrow interpretations to the imagery in Revelation, but a good grasp is given of the overall themes of the Bible coming to a head in this final book.
The weakness here is in the actual handling of the text of Revelation. In a book this size, Chandler has to summarize and gloss over a lot of the actual book he is covering - sometimes in favour of writing about a different section of Scripture.

Relevance for Life/Ministry: 9/10
One of Chandler's great strengths in this book is bringing the teaching home to the reader - the great themes of Scripture are applied to everyday life in poignant ways in each chapter and Chandler gives many personal examples to drive his points home. Sometimes it felt like it was maybe a bit too much - as in he didn't give a Scriptural point enough attention in itself, preferring to give an illustration - but on the whole this book is very applicable.

Overall Investment/Engagement: 6.5/10
I found the first chapters very compelling but my interest waned as the book went on.

Writing/Prose: 7/10
I found it easy to read and very personable. At times, Chandler writes a bit too much like he's having a conversation out loud with you and the reader has to read his vocal nuance into the text - the meaning is unclear in itself and might be difficult to understand if you haven't heard Chandler speak.

[Christen Fox · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 2020s have been a difficult one, haven’t they? The easy way to navigate these tumultuous times is to retreat or remove ourselves from toxic environments, bury our heads in the sand and pretend the tension doesn’t exist, or throw in the towel and enjoy what little time we have left. After all, life is but a vapor and Jesus is coming back soon, perhaps next Tuesday.

Wherever this season has landed you and however you have been navigating it, followers of Christ are called to hope in the One who has conquered the world. Things may look dark, but the Light continues to shine within us and around us. Anxiety, anger, defeat, & disappointment have no place in the heart of those who belong to Christ. We are not victims, we are victors! We are overcomers!

In ‘The Overcomers: God’s Vision For You to Thrive in an Age of Anxiety and Outrage,’ author Matt Chandler purposefully communicates this message and theme by empowering Christians to have courage and confidence for the moment they’re in because the present and the future have already been won.

Utilizing the book of Revelation, Pastor Matt Chandler exposits the letter of John chapter by chapter to teach and equip believers to understand the deceptions, tactics, and strategies satan is using to keep us off the bench and out of the game. There is so much wisdom and practical application found throughout this book while steering clear of literal or misinterpretation of the apocalyptic nature that is Revelation.

I absolutely loved ‘The Overcomers’ because I often find myself feeling discouraged or like there is nothing I can do to make a difference in this dark age and spiritual war. But that is not the case! Each one of us is needed and necessary and was placed in this exact moment of history, with the exact circumstances we are facing, and the exact environment/geographical location/sphere of influence/skillset/more we possess on purpose and for a purpose. We are uniquely called to be an active participant in God’s plan and He wants to use us for His glory and the good of His kingdom.

I highly recommend this book for all believers seeking encouragement for the time we’re in but also to receive expository biblical teaching. If you’re looking for further the discussion, Matt Chandler hosts a podcast of the same title that serves as an additional fruitful resource that I have benefited from as well.

[Erick Perez · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The Overcomers" by Matt Chandler is a timely and inspiring read that addresses the challenges of anxiety and outrage in the modern world through the lens of the book of Revelation. Chandler's profound insights and down-to-earth style make this book a must-read for believers seeking hope and courage in tumultuous times.

Chandler's approach to tackling the prevalent sense of hopelessness in today's society is both insightful and refreshing. He acknowledges the bleakness of the world but emphasizes that as Christians, we are called to be overcomers. Drawing from the book of Revelation and historical examples, Chandler reminds readers of the fierce, conquering authority of God over all the earth.

What I appreciated most about "The Overcomers" is Chandler's use of real-life examples and anecdotes to ground biblical truth. Through these stories, he demonstrates how Gospel truths are not just abstract concepts but are alive and active in our lives today.

Furthermore, Chandler's interpretation of the book of Revelation adds depth to the message of the book. He offers an interesting perspective, viewing Revelation as a symbolic recapitulation of God's divine plan of redemption throughout history. This perspective provides readers with a renewed sense of purpose and hope in the face of adversity.

One aspect of the book that particularly resonated with me is Chandler's exploration of several key passages. His reflections on spiritual sickness within the church, the promise of feasting with God, and the expiration date of God's wrath are thought-provoking and deeply insightful.

In conclusion, "The Overcomers" by Matt Chandler is a powerful reminder that as Christians, we are called to live victoriously in Christ. Despite the challenges and uncertainties of the world, we can find strength, courage, and victory in Him. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking encouragement and hope in their faith journey. - Erick, Blessed and Bookmarked

[Garrett Heyns · Rating 5 out of 5]

Matt Chandler opens “The Overcomers” by reminding the followers of Jesus of their identity in Christ, and the specific place God has for them in the unveiling of His plan and purpose for the world. Nothing in the believer’s life is the result of chance. God takes a personal role in our lives in ways that we are not even aware, from cell divisions in the womb to the geographic, professional, and social circles we frequent. This is supremely counter-cultural to the dominant narrative of the impersonal chaos of the cosmos and the struggle to assert one’s own identity in the nihilistic “pay-to-play” wasteland currently invading American life. From this foundation of the believer’s unique gifting and value, Matt unpacks the Book of Revelation not as a book of cryptic horrors, but rather as an affirmation of God’s ultimate power and purpose in reality and the life of the believer. Rather than viewing the book as a puzzle to solve or a blueprint to be superimposed on the news, Matt’s approach is one that fits comfortably in his wheelhouse, that of encouragement and exhortation. His heart for reaching the lost and the spiritual growth of the Christian is evident. He has a unique ability to ask probing questions and present inconvenient truths while simultaneously drawing his reader in to face these sometimes unpleasant challenges head on, with the assurance it is for their ultimate good. While the judgements presented in Revelation are certainly fearful, the Overcomer is reminded that
“God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind,” (2 Timothy 1:7) and that “In all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37). Matt sums it up this way- “The God who made us for this day and made this day for us can strengthen us, grow our skills and abilities, and go with us as we fulfill our destiny.”

[Romy · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want to better understand how God explains humanity at its best (and worst), this is it. Drawing from the book of Revelation, this is a must read - and hard to put down. The Overcomers is FUEL for your soul for combating the real enemy and so much more.

From someone who didn’t grow up in church and became a believer later in life, I never expected the book of Revelation to be this encouraging; this was the one that intimidated me the most. Until now. Matt Chandler offers a granular, chapter by chapter biblical teaching with a solid, faithful conviction and a much needed sense of urgency for a full surrender to Christ. As Overcomers, it’s imperative that we understand the Ultimate Reality, and how we can make war against the principalities and powers that hate the people of God. What a privilege for those who are in His kingdom to be invited to participate in the disarming of The Dragon!

The bits and pieces that I loved — We were made for this day, and this day was made for us // Live by faith with your eyes on the throne and our confidence in the indwelling Spirit. He’s God and cannot fail // If you rightly understand who He is, then you’ll rightly understand who you are // Throughout scripture it is said that we will rule and reign alongside King Jesus in the new heaven and earth. We will see him face to face // We have the Enemy right where we want him – on his heels! // This is the eternal bliss that awaits the Overcomers // Our Faith will be sight.

I long for this.

Dare to gift this book to someone who doesn’t yet know God. It is that good. It is that necessary.

[Kristin Keeney · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Overcomers is a book that does exactly what the author intends for it to do. It will put steel in the spines of believers everywhere. Through this book, Matt Chandler brings a fresh perspective on the Book of Revelation by boldly and lovingly urging Christians everywhere to “embrace our calling to endure the brokenness of this world and let others know there IS a way out”(Pg 99).

The Overcomers is organized in an extremely readable format, offering a ton of context for each chapter of the Book of Revelation. Chandler boldly calls out the lies of the enemy that are so prevalent in our culture today. He brilliantly invites the wisdom of both our ancient friends as well as more recent Bible scholars to remind us that the Bible always interprets the Bible; a simple, age-old truth that seems to have been forgotten or maybe even overlooked by many believers today. Whether or not you agree with a specific interpretation written on these pages..... the message of hope endures. I encourage you to read this book through the lense of St. Augustine: "In essentials UNITY, In non-essentials LIBERTY, In all things CHARITY."

Every believer should read this book and it should remain on your "read again and again" shelf. I have read the Book of Revelation and many times scratched my head at some of the passages.... Chandler's book has fiercely ignited in me a renewed desire to read the Book of Revelation (and the entire Old Testament) again and again and again with fresh perspective. Why should you read this book, fellow brothers and sisters in Christ?? Because this book, in your hands, is a massive threat to the enemy and so are you! Pick up your sword and fight! #overcomers

[Ruth · Rating 5 out of 5]

In his timely and deeply encouraging book, Matt Chandler aims to embolden the believer to live a life marked by ‘Spirit-besotted courage’ and ordered around the ‘inexhaustible well’ of delights and glories that is the real Jesus Christ. He guides the reader like a friend and mentor through the book of Revelation, unveiling afresh the ultimate reality that our culture hides so well with the many distractions and causes for anxiety that surround us. We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed. This book has helped me to fix my eyes more on the unseen, eternal things and much less on the seen, temporary things that have kept me down and fearful for too long. Matt magnified some glorious truths about the goodness and mercy of God that set my heart singing.

‘When you can spot the accusations, reject the deceit, and stand on the promises of God, you begin to walk in the courage you were designed to walk in. By the end of this book, I hope you can feel in the deepest places in your soul why the apostle Paul said, “To live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).’

This book delivers on its aims. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be encouraged as they walk the life of faith in this present darkness, in this time in history for which we have been uniquely wired.

[Chuck · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was excited for this book upon the recommendation of a pastor friend of mine. We are beginning a study of Revelation for the semester, and this was a resource meant to be an overview of that book. I only gave it three stars because it was too much of exactly that, an overview. While I appreciated Matt Chandler's exhortation to live courageously, with an eye toward Jesus' eventual and total victory over Satan and his associates, I felt the book was far too much of a 30,000 foot overview. There was valuable truth in The Overcomers, and I certainly wouldn't dissuade anyone from reading it. If there is a Christian brother or sister in your life who expresses anxiety over the state of the world or wonders what's the point of living for Jesus in a culture that seems to be heading rapidly away from Him, this might be a good encouragement for them. To be fair, it's made clear that Chandler did not set out to write an in depth study on Revelation. However, that decision means there are many interpretations given in the book that the reader has to just take at Chandler's word. I'd encourage anyone wanting to pursue a deeper analysis of Revelation with a more rigorous focus on each verse (or even just subsections) to grab a good commentary or more academic text.

[Jessica Dysert · Rating 4 out of 5]

While this books intention is not explicitly about politics (there are mentions), it definitely helped me in the unknowing times of this election. In an age where it’s hard to see eye to eye with your neighbor who has differing political views, Mr. Chandler did a great job (at least for me) ensuring that our jobs as Christian people is to love our neighbor regardless of the differing opinions or views of such worldly things. The enemy wants this- he wants us to be divided. Drawing closer to God in the midst of this chaos will restore us and our relationships surrounding. I like that Matt kept a seemingly unbiased view of politics which I don’t see very often in Christian teachings, not that I don’t mind hearing these opinions, like I said it was just a nice change in pace given election time.

A lot of what he said was stirring in my stomach and made me nauseous hearing it, but sometimes Truth does this as a way to remind us that the “kingdom” we stand foot under is not our final destination. Matt’s teaching of revelation is outstanding and I would recommend any Christian struggling with the loud noises and anxieties of the world we stand in today.

[Marinda Wise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ok so I listened to almost the entire audio today in order to finish it before going to his book tour tonight...and doing those things directly back to back was really interesting!
So much of what he said....I knew because it was so fresh, but a few parts he expanded on, in person, just hit differently than the book.
It was especially sweet that Aaron (my 16 year old) took me and I'm SO thankful he doesn't have wild Revelation theology to scrape off, before applying sound biblical teaching.
He was a blank slate, and unaffected by the "left behind" influence that many 80's babies endured.
The four horses explained was especially powerful, and I felt convicted over the influence of the first one (the white horse) In particular.
We overcome because HE overcame!
He says well done good and faithful servant, not because we are good, or faithful or did great things - but, because HE is faithful, is good and has done the greatest thing of all....and through his victory, we are victorious.
We overcome, because HE has overcome.
Take ❤️ heart.

[Taylor Callen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve been looking for a book on Revelation that’s biblical but not bonkers for a long time (something I could hand to a newer believer without worrying it’ll send them down a prophecy-chart rabbit hole). The Overcomers is the closest I’ve come to finding that. It’s clear, simple, and refreshingly sane.

This is also probably the best written book I’ve read by Chandler. I’ve always like him better as a preacher but this incredibly well-written and easy to fly through.

I went back and forth between whether I give this 4 or 5 stars and if I could give it 4.5 stars I would. My only gripe was that I wish Chandler had spent more time in the text of Revelation itself. I can’t think of a single conclusion he came to that I disagree with, but I don’t think this will convince many of those who don’t already agree with those conclusions.

All of that to say, if you’re already leaning toward an amillennial position, you’ll be well fed by this work. If you’re not sure what you believe yet, this is a solid, Christ-centered place to start.
