Pastor Boyd understands that he is challenging the status quo of Christianity in America. As a religion, he sees Christianity identified with Americanism, consumerism, militarism, racism, and the abuse of both the environment and sexuality. In its place, Boyd calls for a radical discipleship (that he calls a revolution) that challenges those who claim the name of Christ to take Jesus seriously enough to live outrageously impractical lives that look like Jesus instead of looking like American culture.
