Your Church Sucks- Red Flags to Look for in Church - Special Excommunication Edition Special Excommunication Edition-
An earlier edition of this book was previously published under a slightly different title. The leadership at the author's church saw it and reacted in two ways. First, they called Dr. Powers in for a meeting and relieved him and his wife of their volunteer positions within the church because of it. Then they began a witch hunt looking to identify the author and the young lady behind the name Feral Christian.

First, they called Dr. Powers in for a meeting and relieved him and his wife of their volunteer positions within the church because of it. Then they began a witch hunt looking to identify the author and the young lady behind the name Feral Christian.
The author went underground for a time to hide, concentrate on college work, and revise this book.
The time has come for her to emerge again. --- You can love Jesus and still walk out of a church that's gone off the rails. Does Your Church Suck? is the book the gatekeepers (professional paid Christians) hoped you'd never read. With humor, heartbreak, and fearless honesty, Feral Christian, a young believer writing under a pseudonym to protect her identity, tears down the façade of modern American church culture and exposes red flags too many of us have ignored or didn't even know about.
From celebrity pastors and secretive finances, to emotional manipulation disguised as discipleship, to family run dynasties disguised as church, this is a sacred cow barbecue for anyone brave enough to admit the system feels broken. Feral Christian invites you to rethink what church could be if we stripped away the business of religion and got back to the spirituality of following Jesus. Inside you'll discover-
This isn't a call to abandon faith. It's a call to burn down the idols that have replaced it. If you've ever felt uneasy in the pew, this book gives language to your frustration, compassion for your wounds, and permission to leave what's hurting you. Don't pray and then run. Run while you're praying. About the Author
Feral Christian is the pen name of a young woman who loves Jesus but refuses to stay silent about the spiritual dysfunction running rampant in modern churches. A student in a Christian school and lifelong church kid, she's seen firsthand how charisma can replace character and how spiritual abuse hides behind smiling pulpits.
Writing under anonymity to protect her education and community ties, Feral brings the raw, unfiltered honesty of a generation done with church games but still deeply in love with God. Her voice is bold, witty, and unashamedly real, a mix of prophetic fire and relatable humor that calls out the rot while still believing the Bride can be healed. She partners with Dr. David Powers of RedTeamGoals.com, who provided mentorship, editing, and a platform to share her message safely, to shine light on the shadows of modern religion, empower believers to discern truth, fight hypocrisy, and rediscover the wild grace of Jesus. Dr. David Powers is an adventurer, philosopher, and pioneer and lives a life of constant experimentation. His life's compass is to seek out adventure in everything he does by being intentional, determined, and unstoppable and by energizing and outfitting others to embark on their own adventures. He fulfills his purpose through speaking and books and is a best-selling author in psychology and education.
He is a decorated veteran of the Marine Corps and a founding member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He is married and the proud father of four feral boys and one princess that he and his wife homeschool.
His mission in life is to find the magical best mug of coffee in the world.
