WHO: Kevin Makins, founding pastor of Eucharist Church in Ontario, Canada.

HE SAYS: “There are deeper truths that need to be uncovered if this next generation is going to reclaim church for good.”

THE PROGRESSION:
Each chapter explores a deep truth that the author has learned about church while sharing the author’s journey.

“The Jesus followers I know aren’t sticking with the church because church is better than a concert or more interesting than a podcast. They’re staying because there are primordial elements of Christian community that are far more rooted than all that superficial fluff.”
