How to Follow Jesus in a Culture That Doesn’t with Jon Thompson

Jon Thompson joins Matt and Lauren to talk about what faithful Christian witness looks like in a complicated cultural moment.

They get into revival, why Christians are tempted to retreat from people who think differently, the importance of actually loving our neighbors, and Jon’s framework of love, word, and power.

Jon’s new book, Presence: Resilient Witness in Times of Retreat and Revival, is available now.

Plus, Matt tries a dad joke. It does not go particularly well.

ORDER MY LATEST BOOK

Becoming Like Jesus is a book about “progressive sanctification” that takes it beyond church words into the honest conversation so many Christians have navigated. Rooted in the Beatitudes, this book unpacks the lifelong series of highs and lows that the Holy Spirit uses to shape us into a person who looks like Jesus.
