The Freedom Campaign

The Freedom Campaign isn’t just about funding a book — it’s about unlocking a movement.

The Prison of Approval, is a raw, redemptive journey about breaking free from the constant pressure to perform, please, and prove. As the editing, design, and publishing process begins, we’re inviting others to be part of this story — not just as readers, but as freedom partners.

This campaign is a call to those who are tired of living for likes, applause, and approval — and who want to declare boldly:
“I’m breaking free.”

When you join the Freedom Campaign, you’re not just helping a book come to life. You’re making a statement. You’re putting skin in the game. You’re saying, “I’m done being defined by what others think of me.”

What You Get:

  • Your name listed in the back of the book (optional)

  • An opportunity to submit your own Freedom Confession:
    “I’m breaking free from the prison of ______.”

  • Access to exclusive behind-the-scenes updates, and digital downloads

This isn’t a book club.
It’s a freedom movement.

Will you be one of the first to help set it in motion?

In The Prison of Approval, author Micah McAlister exposes the silent struggle of people-pleasing and performance-based identity in a world driven by image. With honesty, biblical truth, and cultural relevance, he invites readers to confront the insecurity beneath the surface and discover a better way to live—anchored in grace, not grind.

Inside these pages, readers will find:

  • Personal stories that reflect their own hidden pressure to perform

  • Biblical insight that speaks to identity, worth, and belonging

  • Practical steps for breaking free from shame, striving, and comparison

  • Encouragement to live with boldness, authenticity, and peace

This book is for anyone who feels the weight of always needing to be “enough.” It’s an invitation to stop performing and start resting in who God already says you are.
