To Hell With Religion — The Message That Launched Today
There are days in ministry that feel ordinary — steady, faithful, unseen.
And then there are days that feel like God cracks open the sky, whispers courage into your lungs, and says, “Now. Speak this.”
Today is one of those days.
After years of wrestling with words and wounds, after countless late-night writing sessions, after prayers that sounded more like groans than sentences, my new book — To Hell With Religion — officially releases today.

This isn’t just a book launch.
This is the release of a message I believe the Holy Spirit has been cultivating in my heart for decades — a message forged in the tension between what the church should be and what religion often becomes.
This book is not rebellion. It’s repentance. It’s a call back to the Jesus we’ve misplaced beneath layers of noise.
Where This Book Came From
I wish I could tell you this book was born in a quiet cabin on sabbatical, with soft worship music and perfect margins. But it wasn’t.
It was born in:
- The ache of conversations with people hurt by church politics.
- The heaviness of watching good-hearted believers drown under expectations God never set.
- The realization that we’ve perfected the art of performing for God while starving for Him.
- The fear that we’ve confused busyness for holiness.
- The heartbreak of watching religion crush what Jesus came to heal.
In these years of pastoring, counseling, repenting, and re-learning the Gospel, something became painfully clear:
Religion is the greatest threat to a relationship with Jesus when it replaces Him.
And in too many hearts, it has.
So I wrote a book for every person who’s ever thought:
- “This can’t be what Jesus meant.”
- “I love Him, but I hate this.”
- “If this is faith, why does it feel so heavy?”
- “There’s got to be more.”
You’re right. There is more. And that “more” is the whole point of this book.
What I Refuse to Do
I refuse to pretend the church is perfect. I refuse to sanitize the wounds people carry. I refuse to protect religious systems over the souls inside them. But I also refuse to quit on the church Jesus loves. I refuse to give up on what is still God’s plan A for the world. I refuse to let religion write the final chapter of someone’s faith. This tension — truth without cynicism, grace without compromise — is where this book lives.
What You’ll Find Inside These Pages
You will not find:
- Christian clichés.
- Polished platitudes.
- Safe, polite faith.
- Sunday-school answers that fall apart on Monday.
You will find:
- The messy beauty of grace.
- Honest conversations about church hurt.
- The difference between religion that crushes and Jesus who carries.
- A biblical, disruptive call to return to a relationship-driven faith.
- A pastoral voice that sits with your pain but doesn’t let you stay stuck in it.
The goal was simple: Write the kind of book a wounded believer could pick up and say, “Finally… someone sees me.”
Who I Wrote This Book For
I wrote this book for:
- The one who left church but not Jesus.
- The one who stayed in church but feels spiritually homeless.
- The one who was raised in religion and is trying to unlearn the damage.
- The one who loves Jesus but feels like they’re constantly disappointing Him.
- The pastor silently drowning under impossible expectations.
- The Christian who’s tired of performing.
- The skeptic who still hopes God is real.
- The believer who wants the real Jesus, not the religious version.
If you’re church-hurt, faith-weary, or soul-tired — this is for you. If you’ve wondered whether grace is big enough for your story — this is for you. If you’ve questioned God because of God’s people — this is definitely for you.
My Prayer for This Book
I’m praying this book becomes:
- A gentle hand on someone’s shoulder.
- A lifeline for a believer who’s about to give up.
- A wake-up call for a church drifting from its first love.
- A mirror for leaders who need to return to humility.
- A lighthouse for anyone wandering confused through spiritual fog.
- A declaration that Jesus is still better than the religion built around Him.
But my deepest prayer is this: That this book would help someone meet Jesus again — maybe for the first time. Not the Jesus of performance. Not the Jesus of pressure. Not the Jesus of checklists. But the Jesus who said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28) Rest. Not rules. Not religion. Rest.
