What if Jesus walked into your city—right now, in 2025? In this bold and unfiltered episode, New York Times bestselling author David Gregory sits down with Shemaiah Reed to unpack his groundbreaking new novel One of Us, which imagines the Gospels unfolding in modern-day America. Known for his breakout hit Dinner with a Perfect Stranger and a fearless approach to Christian fiction, David takes us behind the scenes of his latest work—a book he says might be the most consequential story he’s ever written. Together, they dive deep into:
- Why fiction hits the heart in ways sermons can’t
- How today’s church might miss Jesus completely if He showed up
- The hidden struggles of faith, failure, and performance-based Christianity
- What the gospel really means to a generation tired of religion but hungry for truth
- And why it’s time to rethink how we talk about God, grace, and identity
This isn’t your typical church chat. This is raw. Real. And deeply necessary. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between—this conversation will challenge what you think you know about Jesus and inspire you to see Him in a whole new light.
