Announcing In the Low: A New Collaboration from Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of In the Low, a profound new project by my friends and collaborators, Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson. This is their second joint venture after their best-selling book, Prayer, and I couldn’t be prouder to have contributed to its creation.

A New Online Home: In the Low Website

The one-page site for In the Low is now live, based on Scott's drawing of how he wanted the site to look. Its design reflects the book's essence: a safe, meaningful space to navigate depression, despair, and disconnection. I’m thrilled to help create a digital home that complements the book’s message and artistry.

Meeting You in the Dark

Currently a #1 Amazon bestseller in Christian Prayer books, In the Low is a poetic, artistic response to one of the most challenging parts of the human experience. The book doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions or offer superficial solutions. Instead, it meets you where you are—with honesty, vulnerability, and a call to a deeper connection with God.

For many, depression isn’t an if but a when. In the Low, prayers and imagery offer hope, presence, and the reminder that you are not alone. With themes of healing, connection, and a hopeful future, this book is a lifeline for those navigating dark seasons.

Collaborating with Creators

Justin McRoberts is a dear friend and client of Portnoy Media. Producing his podcast, At Sea with Justin McRoberts, has been a privilege. His thoughtful, heartfelt work inspires me and countless others. His depth paired with Scott Erickson’s stunning visual artistry creates a creative force unlike any other.

Scott Erickson, an artist and storyteller who masterfully captures the intricacies of the human experience, continues to amaze me. Together, Justin and Scott explore a side of creativity that few are willing to address—the struggle, the despair, and the hard work of being honest about our lowest moments.

A Celebration of Honesty and Vulnerability

In the Low isn’t just a book; it’s an invitation to sit with the complex parts of life, guided by the light of community, art, and prayer. I’m overjoyed that this work exists, allowing readers to navigate the shadows with grace and courage.

Check out the website, preorder the book, and celebrate this incredible collaboration. Your story matters, even in the lows.
