In a time of compromise and disillusionment, God is calling his people to a movement of beautiful resistance.We live in a time when our culture is becoming increasingly shallow, coarse, and empty. Radical shifts in the areas of sexuality, ethics, technology, secular ideologies, and religion have caused the once-familiar landscape of a generation ago to be virtually unrecognizable.Yet rather than shine as a beacon of light, the church often is silent or accommodating. This isnt a new phenomenon. During World War II, pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was deeply troubled by the compromise in the German church. Their capitulation to the Nazi party brought shame and dishonor to the gospel. In response, he helped create an underground movement of churches that trained disciples and ultimately sought to renew the church and culture of the day.In our compromised church, we need new underground movements of discipleship and resistance. Widely respected New York pastor Jon Tyson unveils a revived vision for faithful discipleship--one that dares to renew culture, restore credibility, and replace compromise with conviction.For all who have felt this conflict in the soul between who we are and who God calls us to be, Beautiful Resistance is a bold invitation to reclaim whats been lost--regardless of the cost.

Praise for
Beautiful Resistance

I believe Jon is one of the great prolific and prophetic voices of our generation. Hes been a pastor in my life for over a decade, starting with my years in New York. Jon casts a timely and compelling vision in his latest work, Beautiful Resistance. He writes with such astute analysis and poignant clarity that several times throughout these pages, I wanted to stand and shout, Im in! May these words be a clarion call to the church to fortify our faith through sacrifice and love.

R EBEKAH L YONS , bestselling author of Rhythms of Renewal and You Are Free

Western culture is increasingly hostile to the teachings and ways of Jesus. The pressure to compromise is the highest its been in my lifetime. The urge to back down on Jesuss compelling vision of life in the kingdom is greater than ever. This book comes at just the right timea pastoral, yet prophetic call from one of our generations greatest leaders. I was moved in my heart to trust Jesuss vision of life over that of my cultures.

J OHN M ARK C OMER , author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Its one thing to write on the beauties of the kingdom and how the way of Jesus must be esteemed as better and stronger than the kingdom of this world; its another thing altogether to live this. Jon Tyson lives this. He writes and preaches with a uniquely compelling conviction, because it flows from a figure that truly believes that the words and ways of Jesus are better than all this world has to offer. By the end of this book, you will find yourself compelled to join with the likes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer who knew that the beauties of the kingdom of heaven are better than the allure of this world.

D R. B RYAN L ORITTS , author of The Dad Difference

Jon challenges us to boldly live without compromise, and he gives us the practical tools to do it. This book is incisive, challenging, and daring. It will stay with you.

S COTT H ARRISON , founder of charity: water, and author of Thirst

I have witnessed Jon live out this unflinching message in the heart of New York City while he leads a thriving community, disciples his children, and inspires the church around the world to radically commit to the gospel. Few people stir my spirit to the depths that Jon does. Whether its sitting across the table at a diner talking with him about all God is doing, reading something he has written, or hearing one of his sermons, my heart is awakened once again to the radical call to follow Jesus, no matter the cost. The message found in the pages of Beautiful Resistance is one needed at this very hour. In a way that only Jon Tyson can, with such brilliance and eloquence, he paints a picture of what the true disciples life looks like in a culture that is longing to see the beauty of Jesus manifested in the lives of his followers.

B ANNING L IEBSCHER , founder and pastor of Jesus Culture and author of Rooted

Beautiful Resistance is one of the most compelling and defiant books Ive read in a long time. I love Jons radical, no-messing vision of the church as a prophetic community. This is a wake-up call for us all from the heart of a man who lives his message, loves his city, and serves his Lord with a passion and intelligence destined to become less rare.

P ETE G REIG , founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement

In every generation, the church is called to resist powerful spiritual and cultural forces that wreak havoc in our lives and communities. Sadly, the depth of life that makes resistance possible often goes missing, resulting in our ongoing capitulation to various powers. But it doesnt have to be this way. Jon Tyson offers us a compelling vision of resistance. Its one marked not by fear but by joy. Im grateful for this wonderful resource.

R ICH V ILLODAS , lead pastor of New Life Fellowship

We can see that the body of Christ has thrived and struggled throughout various seasons over the centuries. We are currently in a moment in which all areas of our lives have been or are being redefined in front of our very eyes. Its quite polarizing, and in some ways it has caught us off guard. In Beautiful Resistance, Jon Tyson does a brilliant job of contextualizing the day we live in and giving us a clear path forward. The words, truth, and ideas in this book allow us to take a step back and better understand the days we live in, not just to observe it all but rather to engage in a way that mirrors the ways of Jesus. I know this book will give you a way forward and tactics to thrive in this time.

E RIC J OHNSON , pastor of Bethel Church, speaker, and author

In each age the church faces a challenge in which she is called to live out her heavenly call among the thorns and thickets of compromise and coercion. In Beautiful Resistance, Jon Tyson flips the challenges the church faces on their heads, showing us Jesuss better way and offering a hopeful vision of a church of conviction in an age of comprise.

M ARK S AYERS , senior pastor of Red Church and author of Facing Leviathan and Reappearing Church

CONTENTS
Introduction

Its early in the morning and I am drinking bad coffee, trying to keep my eyes open after a late-night drive. I am in Poland, where I do not speak the language, cannot understand the street signs, and do not know exactly where I am going. I am trying to find a scene from the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer that has haunted me since I read about it five years ago.
