Jesus Deficit Disorder – Leonard Sweet & Frank Viola on SBE

Erik Guzman August 6th, 2010

You've probably heard the joke about the little boy digging through a giant pile of horse manure. An eternal optimist, he exclaimed, "With all this horse poop, there has to be a pony in here somewhere!"

It's kinda like that in the church. Where's Jesus? We're buried in guilt from not living up to the demands of moralism and social justice. All the while, Jesus is in this mess somewhere.

Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola are here to get us digging in the right direction. Join us as we discuss their book Jesus Manifesto: Restoring the Supremacy and Sovereignty of Jesus Christ.

Dr. Leonard Sweet is a futurist, writer and Chair of Evangelism at Drew University in New Jersey. His latest books include So Beautiful, 11: Indispensable Relationships You Can't Be Without and The Gospel According to Starbucks. Find out more at LeonardSweet.com.

Frank Viola is a speaker, organic church planter and author of Pagan Christianity?, Reimagining Church and From Eternity to Here.
