What if the key to a fierce, world-changing faith was hidden in an enemy's insult? When the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate contemptuously labeled early Christians the "impious Galileans," his own writings revealed their true power: a radical, indiscriminate charity that astonished him and that his own pagan empire could not replicate. This book is a summons to your soul-an invitation to journey back to those counter-cultural and irresistibly compassionate roots, fueled by the foundational truth that we love because God first loved us. It is a permission slip to recenter on the fierce, simple, and people-focused mission that first captured your heart. Go and love fiercely, serve sacrificially, and embody a faith that is hated for all the right reasons. Go and be a modern-day impious Galileans.

Praise for this book

"The Impious Galileans" explores the transformative principles that once changed the world through the early church's fierce love, radical generosity, and unwavering commitments...Highly recommend for anyone longing to see the church thrive as a world-changing force once more!"

  • Peter Greer, President & CEO, HOPE International and coauthor Lead with Prayer

In an age where the Church often seeks relevance through conformity, The Impious Galileans is a prophetic call to return to the fierce, sacrificial love of the early Church. Mike Brock challenges us to embrace a Gospel that disrupts, restores, and prioritizes the marginalized.

  • Rob Hoskins, President, OneHope (former Oral Roberts University Chairman)

Whether you are part of a house church or a mega church, the principles inside can help you be a force for the kingdom in your city.

  • Pastor Ken Foreman, Senior Pastor, Cathedral of Faith, cathedraloffaith.org

Brock does not long for a bygone golden age; he calls us to rediscover the practices that made the earliest communities so strangely captivating-radical generosity, all-member witness, disciplined prayer and fasting, and a practical holiness that was both countercultural and irresistibly humane.

  • Donovan Palmer, CEO Mission Aviation Fellowship International (former CEO of Mercy Ships)
