BEAUTIFUL RESISTANCE
The Joy of Conviction in a Culture of Compromise
In a time of compromise and disillusionment, a New York City pastor sounds the call for a movement of beautiful resistance.
We live in a time when our culture is becoming increasingly shallow, coarse, and empty. Radical shifts in the areas of sexuality, ethics, technology, secular ideologies, and religion have caused the once-familiar landscape of a generation ago to be virtually unrecognizable.
Yet rather than shine as a beacon of light, the church often is silent or accommodating. This isn't a new phenomenon. During World War II, pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was deeply troubled by the compromise in the German church. Their capitulation to the Nazi party brought shame and dishonor to the gospel. In response, he helped create an underground movement of churches that trained disciples and ultimately sought to renew the church and culture of the day.
In our compromised church, we need new underground movements of discipleship and resistance. Widely respected New York pastor Jon Tyson unveils a revived vision for faithful discipleshipone that dares to renew culture, restore credibility, and replace compromise with conviction.
For all who have felt this conflict in the soul between who we are and who God calls us to be, Beautiful Resistance is a bold invitation to reclaim what's been lostregardless of the cost.
JON TYSON is a widely respected church planter and the pastor of Church of the City, New York . Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Jon moved to the United States almost twenty years ago with a passion to seek and cultivate renewal in the Western Church. Jon has spoken at Q Conference, Catalyst, Verge Network, The
New Wine Conference, and other key venues around the world.
ROBUST NETWORK:Tyson's network among pastors and thought leaders is robust. Ask any of the influential leaders in the Christian space, and they'll tell you that Tyson is one of the most important cultural voices of our age.
SPEAKING PLATFORM: Jon speaks regularly at Q Conference, Catalyst, and Verge Network Conferences. He's a widely sought after international speaker.
