The Jacked Up Church

The church may be jacked up—but it’s not beyond repair. But it takes brave men and women to acknowledge its faults and lead the way in addressing its foundation.

Every church has cracks—some hairline, others gaping. Underneath polished programs, passionate worship, and inspiring teaching, many communities are quietly fractured by pride, power struggles, misplaced identity, and unresolved pain. When guilt, fear, and shame shake the foundation of a church, it’s tempting to patch over the mess and hope no one notices.

But what if the only way forward is through a season of uncomfortable renovation?

In my new book that releases today, “The Jacked-Up Church,” I apply the same gritty honesty and restorative hope that defined “The Jacked-Up Life” to the broken body of Christ. This book isn’t a takedown—it’s a call to deep, collective reflection and healing. With a bold blend of spiritual insight and practical wisdom, this book helps pastors, leaders, and lay members confront:

• The hidden dysfunctions we spiritualize or ignore

• The cultural identities we’ve substituted for Christ

• The fear of conflict that prevents real discipleship

• The pride that masks as vision, and the shame that silences truth

Whether your church is in crisis, decline, or simply coasting on past momentum, “The Jacked-Up Church” dares to ask: What are we really building on—and are we willing to lift the structure and rebuild from the ground up?

This is a book for the bold. For those who still believe the Church, even in its most jacked-up state, is worth restoring. And for those who know that a cracked foundation doesn’t have to mean collapse—it can mean it’s time for the crew to show up and get to work.
