This Good Word, Episode 159 | Experiments in Honesty with Steve Daugherty

Steve Daugherty has been a pastor and counselor for more than fifteen years. In his first book, Experiments in Honesty, he combines a pastor's heart with a counselor's mind in helping us explore God's love without fear. Here's what people are saying about Steve's book:

If Brennan Manning and Mike Yaconelli had a love child, it would be Steve Daugherty. In contrast to much of the pious claptrap these days, Steve's voice in Experiements in Honesty is an heir to grace, quietly and humanly reminding us that we are, too. We really are." - John Blase.There is a way of putting Jesus on a sacred pedestal so distant from our everyday wheeling and dealing that we can honor him with our lips by calling him Christ, while mocking the witness of his life with all that we are. Steve Daugherty's Experiments in Honesty helps turn this ship around by presenting Jesus of Nazareth as one whose divinity can't be made separate from his status as pioneer of human seriousness. Do we want to follow Jesus down the path of industrial-strength honesty? For anyone serious about taking up this question, Daugherty's work could be immensely helpful" - David Dark.

I found Steve to be hilarious, helpful, thoughtful, and his book is beautifully written.Enjoy the podcast!You can get in touch with Steve on his website, on Facebook, Twitter, and also on his podcast.
