Truth Over Tribe
Pledging Allegiance to the Lamb, not the Donkey or the Elephant
Do you feel exhausted by tribalism? You aren't alone.
As culture warriors divide the world into us and them—fracturing families, friendships, and churches—most of us long for an end to the constant fighting. But does a practical path exist?
Jesus lived in a culture split by tribalism, but he resisted its allure by choosing something bigger: truth. He's now inviting you to apply his ancient path to the modern culture war. In Truth Over Tribe, you will learn:
How tribalism makes your life miserable How to lovingly resist when a tribe demands your allegiance Why the church is tribalized How to heal relationships fractured by tribalism How to unite diverse communities How would your community change if you became a catalyst for Christlike unity? Rejecting tribalism is the first step.
