Tongue-tied

Are you tongue-tied about faith?

Many Christians easily and eagerly talk about movies, sports, politics, jobs, emotions. So why are we tongue-tied when it comes to talking about our faith? What renders us incapable, embarrassed, or hesitant to talk about God?

In Tongue-Tied, Sara Wenger Shenk investigates the reasons that people who claim the name of Christ are so reluctant to talk about him. Recovering an authentic vocabulary of faith—and learning to speak in trustworthy, captivating ways—is an urgent task for followers of Jesus today. In an era of dying churches, polarizing cultural arguments, and environmental and humanitarian crises, many long for deep conversations about things that matter. By reflecting theologically on biblical wisdom and our shared humanness, Shenk calls readers to recover the winsome language of Christian faith.

We don’t need to relearn Christianese or brush up on churchy clichés. We need a language of faith that is authentic, candid, and robust enough to last.
