About this listen

We need Jesus. The whole Jesus. The American church is in decline. Secularism is fast gaining traction in culture. Ministry leaders and Christians who love the church are rightly concerned about this momentum. We’re scrambling to find solutions.

Longtime Christian journalist, researcher, and ministry leader Rick Lawrence believes that the driving force propelling the church into irrelevance is its propensity reduce Jesus. Deeply researched and comprehensively sourced, Editing Jesus, explores the 8 ways the Jesus of the contemporary church has been edited to fit the spirit of the age. Lawrence writes on:

The Co-Mingling of Kingdoms

The Marginalization of the Poor

The Golden-Calfing of Materialism

The Dismissing of the Supernatural

The Siren-Song of Platforming

The De-Prioritizing of Justice . . . and more

This book is for every person who loves Jesus and His church—who longs to see the real Jesus worshipped and exalted. And it’s for every person who wonders how the wheels came off Western Christianity and harbors a hunger that goes unmet in the church. When we discover and return to the unedited Jesus, it’s impossible to remain unchanged.

The church begins and ends with Jesus. The whole Jesus.

I agree with his main point: today’s American church wants Jesus to be savior but not Lord. Truly following Him would require us to love all of our neighbors, not just the ones we like.

Fantastic book on the supremacy of Jesus. How we should be formed by Him, and never attempt to form a version of Him to suit our own agenda.

Wonderful, compelling, and convicting.
