Description
Our actions don't always tell the whole story. But our reactions most certainly do.
The reactions of evangelicals to political and cultural shifts in recent years revealed what we value most.
As prominent pastors, Christian podcasters and nonprofit leaders lined up behind their political party of choice and leveraged our sacred text to validate political talking points, they revealed what those who don't embrace our faith have suspected all along. Lurking beneath our Bible-laced rhetoric, faith claims, books, and sermons is a relentless drive to WIN!
But the church is not here to win. By every human measure, our Savior lost. On purpose. With a purpose.
And we are his body. We are not in it to win anything. We are in it for something else entirely. That something else is what this book is all about.
