Sadly, many are only defining themselves by what they don't do, as Christians who simply \"don't go to church.\" It's time for these believers to catch a vision for genuine spiritual community, outside the walls of organized Christianity, a way of being the church without going to church. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eUnchurching: Christianity Without Churchianity\u003c\/i\u003e will challenge everything you thought you knew about church. \u003ci\u003eUnchurching\u003c\/i\u003e boldly examines whether organized churches are even biblical. It thoroughly deconstructs the idea of special church buildings, paid pastors, weekly sermons, mandatory tithes and offerings, gender inequality in church leadership, and much more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eUnchurching\u003c\/i\u003e is intended to empower believers who are done with organized church but aren't ready to abandon their faith. It will give non-churchgoing Christians a vision for genuine spiritual community that simply functions like an extended spiritual family. And it will equip them with the language to finally articulate that vision to others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHere's what others are saying about \u003ci\u003eUnchurching\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"I have written several books about church myself, but this one is better than any of the ones I have written.\" - \u003cb\u003eJeremy Myers\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Atonement of God\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"If you are searching for the truth about the way we 'do' church ... this is the book for you  I guarantee that it will completely rock your world.\" - \u003cb\u003eMilt Rodriguez\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Community Life of God\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Richard Jacobson has been on both sides of this shift and is uniquely qualified to write about it-which he does well, with insight, humility, and scholarship ...

He wasn't having doubts about God or even doubts about the church. He was having doubts about the way we do church today. The first churches were simple Christian communities; legally speaking, most of today's churches are corporations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing upon his experience as a writer and artist, Jacobson created the animated YouTube channel, \u003ci\u003eChurch Anarchist, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as his blog, \u003ci\u003eUnchurching\u003c\/i\u003e (www.unchurching.com).
