As Christians, God doesn't promise us an easy life, but he does promise to be with us in whatever we go through. He will never leave us or forsake us.

Jefferson Bethke

Jefferson Bethke (* 1989) ist ein US-amerikanischer christlicher Autor, Podcaster und Spoken-Word-Künstler aus dem freikirchlich-evangelikalen Umfeld. Bekanntheit erlangte er 2012 durch sein virales Video „Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus“, in dem er wie auch in seinen Büchern die Gnade Jesu einem gesetzlichen Leistungsdenken gegenüberstellte, was zugleich theologische Debatten über sein Verständnis von Kirche auslöste. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sein Schaffen den Versuch, reformatorische Kernbotschaften wie die Erlösung aus Gnade und Jüngerschaft im Alltag in eine zeitgemäße Sprache für jüngere Generationen zu übersetzen.
