J.D. Greear’s new book Everyday Revolutionary promises a bold path forward for Christians in culture, but is it really revolutionary or just Third-Way 2.0 with better marketing?

Jon Harris returns to Conversations That Matter to unpack Greear’s updated playbook: tougher rhetoric on Democrats than the 2010s versions, yet still heavy on non-partisan platitudes and light on hard stands over immigration, criminal justice, or gun control.

Why does Greear insist conservatives must publicly repent of the Right’s sins to maintain credibility?

We applaud the strong “theology of place” and exile framework… then watch it collapse into confusion: activism is supposedly secondary to the gospel, yet suddenly mandatory when the Bible “clearly” speaks as long as it doesn't alienate a particular political party.

From benching George Whitefield over slavery to walking the purple-city tightrope, Harris argues the book ultimately functions as reputation management rather than a call to costly faithfulness.

Is Everyday Revolutionary the renewal the church needs, or a sophisticated toolkit for evangelical shape-shifting? A candid, no-punches-pulled conversation that matters.
