Earlier this year, I read the fabulous (and hard) book “Jesus & John Wayne” by @kkdumez.

I’ve been trying to write this piece on and off ever since, finally beginning with this a few weeks ago:

“It’s all true. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.”

This book resonated a lot with me. I’ve been inside various expressions of evangelicalism for most of my life.

There have always been things in evangelicalism I’ve seen that I found confusing or hypocritical. I could never really nail down what was at the heart of it though.
. @kkdumez manages to do so. #JesusAndJohnWayne is wonderful in that it is well-researched and easy to follow.

It’s a hard read —at least for me— because much of the content is disturbing.

I also found it to be difficult because I saw my own experiences in it.
