 Encountering the Subversive Spirituality of Jesus
By Bruxy Cavey
"Many of the people I talk to have a problem – they want their
lives to have a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and value but they
don’t want to turn to God to find it.
When I probe a little deeper I find that many people
don’t really want to give up on God at all, but have become spiritually
discouraged through their own negative religious experiences. For them,
maybe for you, church has become a boring monument of antiquated
irrelevant traditionalism. And who needs that?!
As the teaching pastor of The Meeting House, I’m pleased to be a part of a church that is dedicated to being as real as we are relevant and as truthful as we are loving. We believe our church can become for you a place where your questions receive honest answers and your hurts are met with genuine concern."
- Bruce Cavey
Teaching Pastor and
Author of The End of Religion
What if God Himself had no interest in religion? Bruxy Cavey believes
that Jesus came to earth not to offer a new religious system, but to
overturn the very idea of religion altogether. In his new book THE END
OF RELIGION Cavey shares that following Jesus is not about devoting
ourselves to the mission statements of our churches or even following
sets of heirarchical rules, but about committing ourselves to following
the teachings of Christ. If you've ever hit a dead end with religious
systems, The End of Religion will help you to find a passion for following in the footsteps of Christ.
