Walk with God
know your authority
enjoy your inheritance
Darren Ricketts is a Truth-teller who hates fake and loves change.
He has a heart for those who feel Jesus is far away—especially those who've spent years inside the church without experiencing the transformation Christ promises.
Why? After nearly 20 years away from faith, Darren returned with fresh eyes to ancient truths, sparking a decades-long passion for Hebrew and Greek word studies that continues to shape his understanding of Scripture.
A teacher and leadership supporter at Rhythm Church in Evansville, Indiana, Darren challenges believers to move beyond religion into the intimacy with God that changes everything.
Darren's life reflects his curiosity and engagement with the world around him. Whether he's playing pickup basketball, studying ancient languages, cooking for family, or raising animals on the farm with his wife Katrina, he brings the same intensity to life that he brings to faith.
As a grandfather of twelve, he values both the deep truths of Scripture and the simple moments—fall woods, time with family, and the quiet places where God speaks.

TO THOSE WHO WOULD BE KING

The book
Something's missing
You can't quite name it, but you feel it every Sunday. You love Jesus. You love the church. But beneath the surface, there's a quiet question you barely admit to yourself:
Is this all there is?
Your marriage struggles. Your kids are drifting. You battle the same sins, the same fears, the same emptiness you've fought for years. You pray, but nothing seems to change. You're saved—you know that—but you're not free. Not really.
After nearly twenty years away from the church—years marked by addiction, broken relationships, and hidden sin—Darren Ricketts found his way back to faith. But what he discovered was truths the modern church has largely forgotten:
You were born to be a king. Not theoretically. Actually.
In To Those Who Would Be King, Ricketts takes you back to Adam's original mandate, forward through Israel's priests and kings, and ultimately to Jesus—Who restored what was lost and seated you with an authority you've never learned to use.
This is about understanding the dual calling every believer carries, and why skipping half of it leaves you powerless. It's about why your words have been working against you, why generational patterns persist despite prayer, and what it actually costs to become one of the "chosen" instead of merely “called."
This book will challenge everything you thought you knew about spiritual battles, prayer, and what it means to follow Jesus.
Your home can be different. Your family can be different. You can be different.
Many are called to be kings. Few discover what that actually means.
“A must-read for this generation! It will open your eyes, challenge your thinking, press you into the secret place, and help you fully walk in your authority.”
