Synopsis

Quit defending Christianity. Author Carl Medearis is not interested in keeping Christianity alive. Not one bit. Carl believes it has grown into something that is rarely attractive, frequently divisive, and all too often embarrassing. He believes you may feel this way too. In his new audio book, Speaking of Jesus, Carl gives us a wink and a grin and the permission to stop feeding this thing called Christianity. His offer is that doing so allows us the freedom to relax and feast on Jesus.

Seriously, stop for a moment and answer the question,......more

Goodreads review by Mark on July 24, 2020

Wow, some fantastic stuff in this one. The whole premise of the book could be summed up with this: If Jesus were here, who would he be hanging out with? Christians or everyone else? Obviously, the convicting answer is that he’d be pissed with the Christians (today’s Pharisees) and he’d be loving the......more

Goodreads review by Jared on April 15, 2012

Some people try to course-correct Christianity from within (reformers, etc.). Others try by distancing themselves from it ("follower of Jesus", etc.). Medearis is of the latter sort.
