truth Over tribe

“If you want to be a person of conviction without turning into a total jerk, read this book. If you want to have conversations with people and continue to learn and grow, read this book. If you want to find true freedom in belonging instead of the faux, enslaving community of tribalism, read this book. If you don’t want these things, then you really need to read this book! Truth Over Tribe is a timely gift to the church, and I hope it is read widely.”

Aimee Byrd, author of The Sexual Reformation

“This book has given me a much better understanding of how and why our country has become so dangerously polarized and fractured. But even better, it presents simple, effective examples of what we as individuals can do to help stem the tide! What a great and timely reminder of the blessing that comes when we take a step back and focus on keeping first things first!”

Michael Porter Jr., NBA player

“I don’t know if one good and timely book can compete against the algorithms that generate billions in profits by wrecking our society. But I’m praying that Patrick Miller and Keith Simon succeed, for the sake of our churches, for the sake of our children, for the sake of our own spiritual health. Revival looks like Christians waking up to the ways political parties and their allied media seek to co-opt and corrupt our faith.”

Collin Hansen, vice president of content and editor in chief of The Gospel Coalition, host of Gospelbound podcast

Kyle Idleman, bestselling author of Not a Fan and One at a Time

Now decades later, when news and social media sell moral outrage and self-righteousness as a business model, Patrick Miller and Keith Simon offer this gift to the church. It’s a beautiful call to realign our tribal loyalties to Jesus, a king whose business model is founded upon his own radical grace to sinners like us.”

Greg Johnson, PhD, lead pastor of Memorial Presbyterian Church of St. Louis, author of Still Time to Care

“In Truth Over Tribe, Patrick Miller and Keith Simon address polarization, the most important issue in American society, head on. But beyond just diagnosing the problem, Patrick and Keith go a step further—providing biblically based advice on how to navigate being a responsible and engaged citizen in the years to come.”

Ryan Burge, author of The Nones and 20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America

“In a time where division and quarrels are at a fever pitch, books that nudge us toward a more loving, life-giving posture are sorely needed. This is such a book. ...

About Truth Over Tribe: Pledging Allegiance to the Lamb, Not the Donkey or the Elephant

Do you feel exhausted by tribalism? You aren’t alone.

As culture warriors divide the world into us and them—fracturing families, friendships, and churches—most of us long for an end to the constant fighting. But does a practical path exist?

Jesus lived in a culture split by tribalism, but he resisted its allure by choosing something bigger: truth. He’s now inviting you to apply his ancient path to the modern culture war. In Truth Over Tribe, you will learn:

• How tribalism makes your life miserable

• How to lovingly resist when a tribe demands your allegiance

• How to heal relationships fractured by tribalism

• How to unite diverse communities

How would your community change if you became a catalyst for Christlike unity? Rejecting tribalism is the first step.
