In Follow Me, David Platt issues a bracing, countercultural challenge: the Jesus of the American church and the Jesus of the Bible may not be the same person. Platt argues that for too long, Christianity in the West has been reduced to a simple transaction — say a prayer, sign a card, walk an aisle — while the radical demands of discipleship have been quietly set aside. Drawing on the Gospels' portrait of Jesus calling fishermen away from their nets, a tax collector away from his booth, and crowds away from their comfortable assumptions, Platt contends that following Jesus is not an addition to your life but a total reorientation of it. True disciples are not just converts; they are men and women who have been transformed by the gospel and who now make disciples of others — to the ends of the earth.

Radical

10 weeks|79 discussion questions

David Platt's Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream is a passionate, uncomfortable, and ultimately liberating call to reconsider what it means to follow Jesus in a culture saturated with comfort, consumerism, and self-advancement. Platt argues that American Christianity has, often without realizing it, reshaped the gospel to fit the values of the American Dream — a gospel of health, wealth, personal happiness, and minimal sacrifice. Drawing on the actual words of Jesus, Platt invites readers to compare what Jesus said discipleship would cost with what we typically ask of ourselves, and then to have the courage to close that gap. The book is not a guilt trip; it is an invitation into something far more exciting and far more costly than the comfortable Christianity many of us have settled for.
