How to Be a Bad Christian: Finding God When You Don't Measure Up

By Christopher Easley

Does being a good Christian wear you out? You're not the only one. Jesus promised to give his followers abundant life, but being a "good Christian" often feels like just the opposite. Following the rules, keeping up appearances, and getting things done leaves us exhausted. Instead of peace and joy, we get stuck in fear and anxiety. We can't do it all, but doing any less isn't an option. We have to measure up.What if it didn't have to be that way? What if Jesus really does offer us a way out from expectations and burdens that damage our soul? How to Be a Bad Christian identifies the unwritten laws that keep us chasing after Christian success-and shows you how to break them. Author Christopher Easley shares his own struggle to set aside the "good Christian" project. For him, getting things done for God and following a plan for ministry achievement gave him a sense of stability and control. But when he started to let go of his productivity and plans, he found more life and joy than ever before.You can find that freedom, too. Learn what keeps you trapped trying to measure up. Then explore simple practices that will let God's life flow through you. As you learn to be a bad Christian, you'll discover the life with Jesus you've been looking for all along.
