I wrote this book because I could no longer stay silent about a truth that has been overlooked for centuries. As a believer, I watched countless people dedicate their lives to faith, attend services faithfully, give generously, and yet struggle to see the fruit, blessing, and authority that God intended. And then it hit me: we had been misnamed. For generations, we have proudly called ourselves Christians, a label that did not come from Jesus but from outsiders who observed our faith. Meanwhile, the name Church, the name Jesus gave us, a name filled with blessing, authority, and divine favor, was given to buildings, programs, and structures. We were called to be living temples, walking altars, and houses of prayer, yet our attention, energy, and identity had been shifted onto things made by human hands. This book is not about condemning tradition or creating division. It is about restoration. It is a call to reclaim the name Jesus gave, to embrace the life, power, and authority that flow from that identity, and to live as the Church every day. My prayer is that every reader will finish this book with a renewed understanding of who they truly are, a reclaimed name, and the confidence to walk in the blessing, favor, and authority that come from being the Church, unstoppable, alive, and fully aligned with God's purpose.
