In this special Easter episode, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with Pastor Travis Johnson to discuss his powerful new book (Un)Embarrassed of Jesus: Follow From a Distance and Lose Your Faith; Follow Closely and Change the World. Travis challenges the quiet tension many Christians feel today where we are close enough to say we believe in Jesus, yet distant enough to avoid the cultural backlash that can come with truly following Him. Through the powerful story of Peter’s journey from denial to bold proclamation, we explore how spiritual distance slowly erodes faith while nearness to Christ produces courage, conviction, and transformation. Travis shares why this message is so urgent for the Church today and how ordinary believers can move from comfortable cultural Christianity to courageous, world-changing faith. This conversation is a timely Easter reminder that the resurrection doesn’t just invite belief…it calls us to follow Jesus boldly and without embarrassment.
