Some Christians look like a spiritual success while the person inside is spiritually starving. Jacob Coyne, author of The Secret Life of Christians, is on Christianity Without Compromise with host Jake Doberenz to discuss how chasing influence, productivity, and outward appearances can replace genuine intimacy with God. Jacob explains why authentic faith requires a life free from hidden contradictions—and why spiritual formation depends on practices that shape Christians when no one is watching. To built this genuine life, we explore ancient rhythms and practices which offer an authentic way of getting closer to God and away from performance.
