Times bestsellers, including “Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American
Dream.” His latest book is “Don’t Hold Back: Leaving Behind the American Gospel
to Follow Jesus Fully.”

-How would you respond to people who say that you are causing the very disunity
you are critiquing by speaking out on issues such as social justice? 

-What are you taking away from your own writing that you think is especially
helpful as we think about the next election coming up?



-What are some ways we express inappropriate pride in our own nation?


KEY QUOTES FROM DAVID PLATT 

“Every book I’ve written has been the overflow of what God is doing in my own
heart.”

“Having pastored in metro Washington, D.C., over the last five years, especially
amidst everything going on in our country, I’m convinced that it’s not just an
American dream that was consuming our lives. It was an American gospel that was
hijacking our hearts.”

“The biblical gospel exalts Jesus above everything in this world. And we’ve
exchanged that biblical gospel for an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for
the sake of comfort and power and politics and prosperity in our country. And I
think the effects of that are all around us.”



“I just think that discouragement and disillusionment is the fruit of a false
gospel, that if we would get back to the beauty of the biblical gospel and who
Jesus is, it would have major effects in our lives and the church and in the
world around us.”

“I think that’s where I’ve been challenged in my own life, that there are issues
in God’s Word that I’ve not faithfully addressed in the past, that I’ve found
myself addressing.”
