About this listen

Jesus’ words haven’t changed. Our obedience has.

Somewhere between the red letters in our Bibles and the rhythms of modern church life, a gap has opened — a gap wide enough for the teachings of Jesus to slip quietly into the background. We still sing His name. We still quote His words. But too often, we sidestep the commands that cost us the most.

In Living the Words We Skip, you’ll confront the hard truth: much of what passes for Christianity today would be unrecognizable to the Carpenter from Nazareth. Through Scripture, history, and real-world examples, this book exposes how we’ve traded the cross for comfort, discipleship for affiliation, and the Kingdom for the empire’s approval.

This is not an attack on the Church. It’s a wake-up call to return to the way of Jesus — radical mercy, inconvenient generosity, enemy love, and justice that is inseparable from worship. Each chapter ends with reflection and action steps, inviting you not just to agree with Jesus, but to follow Him.

If you’re ready to leave behind cultural Christianity and rediscover the dangerous, beautiful way of the King, the narrow road is still open. The only question is whether you’ll take the first step.
