Summary
Jesus Can Unify the Left and the Right
Political fighting is fracturing families， ending friendships， and splitting communities。 Most of us long for an end to the division， but fear there is no way out。 Thankfully， there is。
Jesus also lived in a divided culture， but he chose truth and love over tribalism and fear。 In Truth Over Tribe， you’re invited to see how:
Tribes fracture relationships
Resisting tribalism brings unity
Healing the hurt is possible
Jesus’s life models our way forward
God is calling you to build his kingdom， not a kingdom of the donkey or the elephant。 Will you reject political tribalism and instead pledge your allegiance to the lamb？

This book bounces between thought provoking， challenging， and life changing。 Examples of tribalism are presented to show the cancer that it is to our society。 Everyone needs to be exposed to the ideas in this book！

Excellent。 A little slow at first， but the heart of their message comes through。 Just the tonic we need for the us and them culture we are saturated in。

“The political tribes of the left and the right desperately want the allegiance you owe to Jesus。 If you give it to them， you will be sucked into their battles and lies。 But if you give your heart's deepest allegiance to Jesus， you will be set free from political tribalism in order topursue the neighbor-loving politic of the kingdom of God。” What a timely book and a wake-up call！I really enjoyed it and found it easy to read。 “The political tribes of the left and the right desperately want the allegiance you owe to Jesus。 If you give it to them， you will be sucked into their battles and lies。 But if you give your heart's deepest allegiance to Jesus， you will be set free from political tribalism in order topursue the neighbor-loving politic of the kingdom of God。” What a timely book and a wake-up call！I really enjoyed it and found it easy to read。 。。。more

Pause whatever else you’re reading and pick this up immediately。 As we near the midterm elections and look ahead to 2024， something drastic needs to change。 This book does a phenomenal job of laying out the times we find ourselves in， how tribalism is a normal， human behavior that’s working against us， and practical steps to move forward。 It’s written conversationally （so it’s an easy read） while also full of wisdom and research。 We owe it to one another （and future generations） to do better。 Re Pause whatever else you’re reading and pick this up immediately。 As we near the midterm elections and look ahead to 2024， something drastic needs to change。 This book does a phenomenal job of laying out the times we find ourselves in， how tribalism is a normal， human behavior that’s working against us， and practical steps to move forward。 It’s written conversationally （so it’s an easy read） while also full of wisdom and research。 We owe it to one another （and future generations） to do better。 Read this and let’s have more conversations around the table。 。。。more

I give this one 5 stars because I gave "Compassion and Conviction" 4 stars and this puts legs on a number of concepts found in that book （my main issue [if you really even want to call it that] with that book）。 Read 'em both。 I give this one 5 stars because I gave "Compassion and Conviction" 4 stars and this puts legs on a number of concepts found in that book （my main issue [if you really even want to call it that] with that book）。 Read 'em both。 。。。more

It's been sad to see how tribalism has gripped American society， but it's even sadder when that attitude has come into the church。 "Truth Over Tribe" is a needed antidote to that toxin。The book begins by describing the ways that tribalism hurts us: It wrecks relationships。 It elevates anxiety。 We become less honest to maintain tribal membership。 Anyone "other" becomes a potential enemy。 It impairs discernment。The book also details the factors that make us prone to tribalism - Our brains， social It's been sad to see how tribalism has gripped American society， but it's even sadder when that attitude has come into the church。 "Truth Over Tribe" is a needed antidote to that toxin。The book begins by describing the ways that tribalism hurts us: It wrecks relationships。 It elevates anxiety。 We become less honest to maintain tribal membership。 Anyone "other" becomes a potential enemy。 It impairs discernment。The book also details the factors that make us prone to tribalism - Our brains， social media algorithms， subjectivity of truth， and insular community。The authors then give very practical steps to break the tribalism cycle: Showing kindness and generosity， taking our allegiance to Jesus seriously， recognizing what we don't know and humbly admitting it， deliberately crossing tribal lines， listening， and getting a bigger view of body of Christ - "a worldwide tribe based on grace， not merit。" （pg。 202）I liked the honest writing and direct questions。 No side of the aisle was exempt， and the seriousness of this problem wasn't minimized。 I also appreciated the gracious tone the authors used throughout。 In the epilogue， they address the reader who is defensive。 Rather than mocking or condemning， they suggest that the person discuss this with someone they trust and be open to seeing the tribalism in their life。 Most of all， I was encouraged that the book keeps pointing the reader back to Jesus， who hasn't stopped building his church and will not fail。I will definitely be recommending and sharing "Truth Over Tribe。" 。。。more

Out of the 15 mostly nonfiction books I have read so far in 2022， this book is my favorite so far。 I am a "Truth Over Tribe" podcast listener and though I do not always enjoy the contrarian interview/discussion style of the authors， I appreciate Patrick and Keith's hearts for edifying the body of Christ in how we should think biblically above all other lenses the world has to offer。 I had different expectations for this book before reading it。 I thought it would be more contrarian and somewhat i Out of the 15 mostly nonfiction books I have read so far in 2022， this book is my favorite so far。 I am a "Truth Over Tribe" podcast listener and though I do not always enjoy the contrarian interview/discussion style of the authors， I appreciate Patrick and Keith's hearts for edifying the body of Christ in how we should think biblically above all other lenses the world has to offer。 I had different expectations for this book before reading it。 I thought it would be more contrarian and somewhat inflammatory （like the podcast can be at times）。 I thought it would be much more of a polemical work about how the Republican and Democratic parties miss the mark when it comes to a biblical worldview。 I thought this would be a more theological book of how Christians should think about public policy。 And I am glad that I was wrong。The above topics are all well and good， but this book hits a sweet spot in an area that I didn't expect: it addresses how Christians love one another as the body of Christ despite the tribalism of this current cultural moment。 Best of all， the book communicates this message in a loving， humble， and gracious way。 At times the book is more social science research than it is biblical references， making this book more accessible to even a secular audience。 I can tell the authors did their homework in reading a ton of books about tribalism and the isolation of this current age。I recommend this book to anyone， but especially Jesus followers who are seeking to understand the polarization of our cultural moment。 I am grateful for the time and energy the authors put into this book and I hope there are more books to come （if the Holy Spirit leads）。 Blessings to you all！ 。。。more
