The church once stood as a lighthouse—steady, bright, and unmistakable. Today, in too many places, the beam is dim. The dangers are not only outside our walls but within them. Evangelical Disaster examines the subtle and not-so-subtle ways the modern church has drifted from its biblical foundation and calls believers back to faithfulness.

The opening chapters take an unflinching look at the cracks in our foundation: celebrity pastors replacing humble shepherds, marketing strategies overtaking gospel mission, fear of offense muting the truth, biblical illiteracy in a land overflowing with Bibles, and youth ministries that entertain without discipling. Each of these weaknesses is explored not as an attack on “them” but as a sober warning for “us.”

The middle section turns toward correction. It draws from Scripture’s vision of the church—a body where pastors know their sheep, preaching feeds the whole counsel of God, discipleship is lived daily, and holiness sets believers apart from the surrounding culture. Practical, attainable steps are offered: opening our homes for worship and fellowship, deepening Bible teaching, and embracing mission as the work of every believer, not just the professionals.

Interwoven are the voices of past spiritual giants—A.W. Tozer, Francis Schaeffer, and others—whose warnings ring true today. Historical lessons remind us that even once-great gospel centers, like England, can grow spiritually cold when compromise becomes normal. The book calls the church to remember that revival is not born from branding or performance, but from prayer, repentance, and obedience.

The final section lifts our eyes to the hope that remains. Scripture assures us that God always preserves a faithful remnant, even in seasons of decline. Lessons from Nehemiah show how God’s people can rebuild with determination and dependence on Him. The book closes with a vision of what true revival looks like—not man-made enthusiasm, but Spirit-breathed renewal that begins in humble hearts.

This is not a book about pointing fingers; it is about taking responsibility. It challenges every believer to stand firm in the faith, hold fast to the truth, and work diligently until Christ returns. In every age, God works through ordinary people who are willing to pray, repent, and rebuild. The question is not whether the church can be restored. The question is whether we will be the people God uses to do it.
