Keeping the Faith

Since 2016, the story has been simple: Christians back President Trump. No matter what. We’re here to change the story. 


An anthology of dissent, Keeping the Faith unites the voices of believers across America who fall outside the narrative—who are re-imagining how the Gospel should intersect our politics. Contributors include: 


Alexia Salvatierra 

JR. Forasteros 

Andy Crouch 

Jonathan P. Walton

Brandi Miller 

Robert Chao Romero 

David French 

Tamice Spencer 

Randall Balmer

Randy Woodley 

Miluska E. Aquije 


This collection is for anyone who has ever looked at the religious pageantry propping up the Trump administration and said quietly in their heart: This is not my Jesus. We’re with you. And we’re saying it from the chest, for the people in the back.

“An important, powerful book by younger Christians. Their moving personal stories and probing theological reflection challenge us to let Christ, not surrounding society, be Lord of our politics. Their penetrating, biblically-grounded critique of so much of white evangelicalism will stand as an important historical witness to biblical fidelity at a time of massive white evangelical failure and disobedience. Highly recommended.” — Dr. Ron Sider, Founder and President Emeritus of Christians for Social Action


"This collection of essays constitutes a compelling witness to the justice claims of the gospel. This wide-ranging testimony presents a host of writers with appropriate measures of passion, indignation, and hope with reference to urgent contemporary issues. The accent on justice powerfully disrupts our all too easy compromises of the gospel, and invites us to be 'woke' in active, transformative ways." — Dr. Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary


"In 50 years of pastoral ministry and community service, I've always looked for resources that challenged my thinking and enhanced my prayer life. This book is a sobering look at these challenging times. It's broad and deep range of perspectives helped me turn to Jesus, to his values, and to ask for his help. This is a great read that puts matters back into a Kingdom perspective...one that doesn't let us off the hook to build a better future in our communities and our country." — Rev. Dr. Joel C. Hunter, Former Senior Pastor of Northland, A Church Distributed 


“God’s spirit is inviting us in this moment in time to consider what the voice of God’s people will be. This collection of essays written by practitioners, academics, and activists of faith will equip you to consider the reality of how our political structures and systems impact people. Historical insights and personal narratives will challenge our allegiance and deepen our worship.” — Sandra Maria Van Opstal, Executive Director of Chasing Justice. 


“Keeping the Faith is the voice of Christian opposition to the pairing of the 45th president and Christian identity. The authors are women and men who are committed to the lordship of Christ, the authority of scripture, to evangelism, and to active engagement in the world. Their objection to our current administration is an outworking of their theological commitments. Their voices need to be heard.” — Jason Gaboury, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Regional Ministry Director, New York/New Jersey


“In this time of deep reckoning, it seems the church is in need of more voices speaking bold truth to her, and this anthology does just that. These diverse, prophetic leaders do the work of revealing to the church her unholy union with political party and inviting her to live into a more just future- one where the wolf dwells with the lamb in the peaceable kingdom now as it is in heaven. This book is an offering of such hope.” — Kristy Garza Robinson, co-author of Hermanas: Deepening Our Identity and Growing Our Influence
