The Surprising Hidden Spirituality in Progressive Christianity

I always wondered why Progressive Christianity sounded so familiar. I was eerily similar to the New Thought movement I used to be part of. Turns out, there’s a reason. My friend Jason Jiminez was someone who helped me crack this code, and it ended up becoming the topic of one of the chapters in my book Happy Lies. We dig into the connection between Progressive Christianity, New Thought, and a surprising “secret ingredient” that ties it all together. Jason Jimenez is the founder and president of Stand Strong Ministries and a faculty member at Summit Ministries. He is a bestselling author and national speaker, specializing in biblical worldview training, family ministry, and church leadership. In 2018, he launched the I Will Stand Strong movement (www.IWillStandStrong.org) to reach thousands of young people online with the gospel.
