About this listen

The American church faces a discipleship crisis. Instead of following the values of Jesus, many Christians are chasing after what our culture prizes: power, money, and political influence.

In Your Jesus Is Too American, Baptist pastor Steve Bezner invites Christians to rediscover what Jesus treasured and incorporate those kingdom values into the church's witness.

With a pastoral voice, Bezner shares the lessons he has been teaching in his church community for eleven years—humble service rather than worldly success, healing relationships across religious and ethnic divides, repairing harm against marginalized groups, giving generously, and providing a political witness rooted in the local church. Bezner shows that Jesus's vision of discipleship points the way toward a different way of being in the world.

The book offers a welcome perspective for church leaders and congregants alike who are frustrated with the way many churches pursue values that are not in line with Jesus's teachings and are worried about the American church's credibility crisis. It includes a foreword by Beth Moore.

Excellent Content, Poorly Presented

I really wanted to love this book. And I feel like I would love the pastor if I was at his church. I actually got The hard copy of this book and it is fantastic. However, it is a terrible audiobook. The narrator reads every footnote as it occurs in the text which completely disrupts the flow of the chapter. when listening to the book, it is unclear what is a footnote and what is the text of the book. I was so frustrated by this because I really wanted to listen to this book. I really hope they will make a second edition where they read the footnotes at the end of the chapter or at the end of the book.

Good book, not the best audio recording

Good book. Good insight. Worth reading. That's said, the emotion and intonation of the narrator was distracting to me making it a little hard to listen to and in places made it seem insincere. Also, the reading of footnotes inline with text was disruptive to the flow most of the time, I hope this isn't a new trend.

Encouraging approach in these divided times

Such a great reminder of what living like Jesus should look like. I love the real world examples that show practical ways others, including BEZNER’s church, have shown love - even to their enemies

A subject that needs to be talked about more!

I didn’t love the audiobook for some reason. The content was good and I appreciate how much of it was gleaned from scripture and experience.
