In The Cost of Non-Discipleship, author and Bible teacher Josh Hunt delivers a powerful, research-backed, and soul-stirring examination of what really happens when Christians settle for a comfortable, casual version of faith. We've all heard about the cost of discipleship. But this book flips the question: What is the cost of not following Jesus?
Drawing from Scripture, real-life stories, neuroscience, and mountains of research on church life and spiritual habits, Hunt reveals the quiet tragedy behind much of today's cultural Christianity: lives that claim belief but lack transformation. Churches that are busy but powerless. Hearts that are full of religious language but empty of peace, joy, and purpose.
Inside this timely and practical book, you'll discover:
Why discipleship is always in your best interest-and how to start where you are
How scientific studies confirm what the Bible has said all along: people who pray, read the Bible, serve, forgive, and attend church regularly experience dramatically greater well-being
The personal costs of non-discipleship: anxiety instead of peace, bondage instead of freedom, shallow identity, loneliness, and a life lived far beneath its potential
The relational costs: fractured families, disciple-less churches, and spiritual drift across generations
The societal costs: a Church that has lost its salt and light, struggling to influence the culture it was meant to transform
True stories of people and churches who discovered the transforming power of real discipleship-and how you can too
The Cost of Non-Discipleship is not just a critique of the modern church-it's a vision for something better. A vision of a church filled with joy, power, maturity, and mission. A vision of Christians who don't just believe in Jesus but actually follow Him-fully, daily, joyfully.
Whether you're a pastor, a small group leader, or simply a believer who knows there must be more, this book will inspire you to count the real cost-and embrace the abundant life Jesus promised.
Perfect for readers of Dallas Willard, John Ortberg, John Mark Comer, Richard Foster, and Francis Chan.
