(Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: Follow from a Distance and Lose Your Faith. Follow Closely and Change the World.

Travis Johnson

Most Christians aren't denying Jesus; they're just following Him from a safe distance.

In this book, you will discover how to close the gap between cultural Christianity and courageous faith, trading passive belief for bold, public devotion to Jesus that transforms your life and witness.

Peter follows Jesus from a distance--close enough to see Him, but far enough to avoid being identified. When the pressure mounts, he famously denies Christ. That tension captures the state of many Christians today. After decades of comfortable sermons and sanitized pulpits, too many believers are drifting, deconstructing, or practicing a hollow version of the gospel.

In [Un]Embarrassed of Jesus, Travis Johnson offers a bold call to follow Christ without compromise. Using Peter's transformation--from denial at the fire to bold preaching at Pentecost--Johnson exposes the spiritual danger of distancing ourselves from Jesus. This book is a roadmap back to a courageous, close-following faith that impacts not just individuals but entire communities.

In this book, you will:

  • Recognize the gap between cultural Christianity and authentic discipleship.
  • Follow Peter's journey as a model for bold transformation.
  • Identify how safety, silence, and spiritual distance erode faith.
