About this listen
It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?
In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment: a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
Christians know what Jesus Christ has done — but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is "gentle and lowly in heart." This audiobook reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
Pastor David Platt believes we’ve gotten really good at following a really bad gospel—one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
We live in an upside-down culture. We wink at our vices as coping strategies while restricting our virtues to our online personas, where they won't interfere with our real lives. And we wonder why we feel empty, exhausted, and directionless. But why do we do things that we know are harmful for us? Jonathan "JP" Pokluda wants you to know there's a better, more fulfilling way to live, and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers—because that's not where you'll find them.

Radical - read with caution. It will rock you.
I liked the way David Platt challenged me about the way I/we do Christianity in N. America. Our emphasis on individuality and maintaining our level of comfort... There may be a better way, and he directs us through an alternative approach to living our faith. Thank you, David, for being passionate and willing to call us to much more for our here and now! By God’s Grace and for His glory, Amen

Challenged my thinking
Challenging to listen to because it challenged some of things I have become comfortable with in my life. I was really glad that near the end David had some practical action steps that a person can take. I am going to consider the challenge to take those practical steps. I am willing to bet implementing them will make a world of a difference I my life.

A narrow understanding of the “American Dream” and the gospel leading to narrow conclusions
David makes some spicy rebukes of the American church, but in the end lands on a troublingly narrow theology obsessed extravagant travels to “unreached peoples” and acts of blatant evangelism covered in a veneer of modest living.
In his well intentioned critique of Western materialism, he passes by a more holistic understanding of the American dream and it’s roots— neglecting notions of manifest destiny, systems of inequity, interactions between capitalism and Christian industrial complex, self-serving and self-sustaining power structures, and notions of so-called spiritual authority.
Perhaps before devoting such a great deal of importance to exporting our gospel to “unreached peoples”, we need to ensure our gospel is rid of more than just American materialism and is rather wholly steeped in kingdom justice.
