Killer Church: Volume 2

by Nathan Finochio

What if the Church is just another failed start-up - misreading the market, hemorrhaging credibility, and quietly wondering if its best bet is a slow fade into irrelevance? That's the question lurking beneath every cringeworthy attempt at cultural relevance, every overproduced worship set that sounds like a Coldplay B-side, every sermon series with a name like Unlocking Your Divine Potentiat™. But maybe-just maybe -the Church isn't dying. Maybe it's just having its Babel moment, stacking bricks for a structure God never asked for. Or maybe we're Joseph, unfairly imprisoned, falsely accused, waiting for Pharaoh to have a dream stupid enough to require divine interpretation. Either way, history is littered with the bones of faithless generations, but the remnant the ones who refuse to cower before the ideological Nephilim-always win in the end. So this isn't about survival. It's about betting the farm on the one institution Jesus actually said would outlive Rome, America, and whatever postmodern Sharknado we're currently living through. The only question will we go down with the cowards or march with the Killer Church?

Great book that addresses current issues and challenges within the church with humor, honesty, and encouragement. A lot of the chapters almost feel like you’re reading a Substack or blog post with the way he breaks up topics and uses bolded words. It’s easy to read and understand, and grounded in God’s word. I especially enjoyed chapter 9, titled “Sticky Tucky Pointy.” Nathan has a way with imagery and creating memorable examples. I’d definitely recommend it to church leaders and staff.

Nathan has a knack for creating theological frameworks. He keeps hammering the points of the purpose of the church. I truly enjoy the way he writes. is encouraging, sharp, and concise in his critiques, and keeps building a solid base of biblical understanding that sharpens my knowledge of the biblical salvation story.

Nathan has a way of cutting straight to the heart of the matter. Volume II is the follow up needed to his first book! He biblically articulates the truth of who we are called to as the church. He brings stories to life. And he challenges our culture thinking and methodology.

Worth the read!

I’ve always loved Nathan’s ability to make plain what everyone is feeling. Thought-provoking, encouraging, and convicting.

The prophetic voice in this book is amazing. Finochio has an impressive gift for seeing what's happening in culture and responding to it well. Provocative in all the right ways.
