Against the Current
Following Jesus In A Nation AdriftAgainst the Current invites readers into a courageous journey of separating authentic Christian faith from the cultural forces that have shaped American life. Blending history, theology, and pastoral honesty, the book traces how well-intentioned believers drifted from the River of Life and were carried into political identity, fear, and cultural loyalty. Instead of condemning or retreating, it offers a hopeful way forward through a return to the cross-shaped, countercultural way of Jesus. Through vivid storytelling and practical spiritual rhythms, this book helps readers resist the pull of polarization, recover a Jesus-first identity, and rediscover a hopeful and Kingdom-centered witness in a divided world.
