She was someone who was messy, angry, disorganized and didn’t fit. “When you grow up in a culture where you're judged by your behaviors, it can be hard to understand that God is less concerned with your behavior than the transformation of your heart.” Author, speaker, women’s Bible teacher and “former control-freak & coffee junkie” Hollylu Jostes Coon struggled with the idea of being a “good Christian” for many years before she discovered that God wanted to know her personally, rather than see her check every box of good practice. God is calling us to leave behind our lukewarm faith. Her book, “Salty: The Deconstruction of a Good Christian” will take you on Hollylu’s journey as she examines her faith in relation to her everyday life. Her refreshingly candid story—full of feisty exchanges with God—will inspire you to live as salt of the earth and as an agent of change, fully surrendered and transformed by Jesus.
