For many spiritual people in America, the Christian Church has lost its appeal. Americans have become disenchanted with the Church's unbelievable story and ugly history. They have been turned off by the Church's use of outdated and hard-to-understand language and music. And they have become contemptuous of Church leadership littered with the uninspired, overbearing, and weak. This has created an exodus from organized religion that, in turn, has created an enormous spiritual longing in America. 
Spiritual But Not Religious takes a deep look at this ever-growing problem, which in the new century is strengthening its grip on younger America and posing a mortal threat to the Church--a threat the Church has been too afraid to look at. Challenging, fascinating, and oftentimes humorous, Spiritual But Not Religious closely examines the exodus from the Church, citing its causes and implications. It also offers a detailed plan for what the Church must do to not only regain its lost members, but to regain its lost spirit. Let there be no doubt, a revolution is needed! Spiritual But Not Religious is the call for that revolution.

This isn’t your grandma’s Jesus. This book is for those who need a Jesus who was: • a fighter • a ferocious personality • a man of fire and courage • a man who had hell in his blood and mad love in his heart. This book is for a rare class of athletes: the fiercest and most intense. It is for the lions, the wild horses, and the badasses, who naturally possess the strongest potential for great leadership. Badass Jesus will powerfully challenge your spirituality. Focused on Jesus’ core principle rather than all the differing beliefs of Christian churches, Badass Jesus offers a simple new vision of intense faith: Jesus’ ethos of extreme self-sacrifice mixed with his 1st and Greatest Commandments of radical, noble love – all dedicated to serving God and changing the world

Product Description 
Are you depressed but don't know why? Or is it inexplicable anxiety that grips your gut?Do you, over and over, sabotage yourself, your career, or your relationships?Do you have it all, but still feel unfulfilled or even miserable inside?Is your relationship falling apart and you're not sure what to do?Is your 20-year-old son or daughter unmotivated, causing you to feel ever more frustrated?Does your mother or father continue, even well into your adulthood, to control or undermine your life?If any of these sounds like you, we need to talk! That's the purpose of this book: a real conversation about what is causing all of these problems and unrest in your soul. But first, you must understand: One of the core truths of this book is that trying to change behaviors never changes behaviors, long term. Until there is a fundamental shift in the deep-down, core beliefs driving the behaviors, no changes will ever stick. Most importantly, the beliefs driving your life are neither visible to you, nor were they ever chosen by you.Your depression and anxiety are, at their root, the result of a life disconnected from your soul – your own true self, which has been waiting for decades, deep inside, to be rediscovered. In this book, I reconnect you to your true voice, free you from the fears that dog you, and give you the courage to finally experience true aliveness, lasting joy, and inner peace.Sven Erlandson, MDiv., BA, two decades ago, coined the phrase 'spiritual but not religious' as the first author to both name and define that movement in his seminal book by the same title. It is now the largest spiritual-religious movement in American history. As the founder of Badass Counseling, he is a Wall Street performance coach in Manhattan, NYC, and works with Olympic and pro athletes around the world, world class artists, special forces, MMA fighters, couples, and even struggling young people. He has been a spiritual counselor and (former) pastor for 25 years, and has authored several books and articles in the field of spirituality, lecturing at the graduate and undergraduate levels. He was SERE-trained military, the first full-time sports pastor in the 500-year history of the Lutheran Church; and is a former NCAA Strength Coach and Emergency Room Chaplain at a Level One Trauma Center.
