Chapter Four: Shaped for Community, Not for Individuality

Reclaim the Good News of God’s Grace with Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America—an eight-session study on faith, community, and hope.
---
What does it mean to be Presbyterian in today’s America—when loud voices of Christian nationalism distort the gospel into fear, exclusion, and partisanship?
“Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America” by Ted V. Foote Jr. and P. Alex Thornburg offers clarity, humor, and hope for Presbyterians and other Christians seeking a faithful alternative.
This eight-session small-group study accompanies the book and explores how Reformed theology speaks into our cultural moment, equipping participants to recognize distorted theology, rediscover God’s grace, and live into a gospel that is still good news for all.
