This book would make a great rescource for a church-wide campaign. A church wide campaign includes three elements:
  • Sermons. Adapt Johnny Hunt's sermons or write your own.
  • Small group study. I will write a Good Question study for your use in groups. (Email me if you have a starting date.)
  • Book. Invite your people to read Johnny's book at home for maximum learning.

Pulpit-press has one other book available for you to use as a church wide campaign: After Life by Brandon Park. Other books in the works include:

  • Wise Up! (A study of Proverbs) by Steve Reynolds (Summer release)
  • Rooted by Brad Whitt (Summer release)
  • Shattered Dreams (A study of Ruth) by Patrick Mead (Fall release)

Johnny Hunt: How God has (and is) changing me

“Do not be conformed” is not only an imperative, it is also a passive. This means it is something God does to us.

Let me share my testimony of this. God has so changed me. I am such a radical new creation you would not recognize me if you knew the man I used to be. I didn’t become different by trying really hard to be good. God worked the change in me.

If there is no change, there is no Jesus Christ in us.

Does that mean that believers won’t sin? No. They sin, but they don’t want to. Someone might say, “If I am truly saved, can I sin as much as I want to?”

Yes, once you are saved, you can sin as much as you want to. In fact, I sin more than I want to. If you are truly saved, you won’t want to sin. If you want to sin, you are not truly saved. I don’t want to sin at all. It breaks my heart when I do sin.

There was a time in my life—before God changed me on the inside—that I could do wrong and it didn’t bother me. It was my normal. That all changed when I got saved.

Now, the only way I can act unchristian is to allow the outside to squeeze me into its mold.
