Look, I’m not one to brag, and I’m not because this isn’t my fault. But my new book just hit #1 on Amazon in “Christianity.” The universe apparently agrees it’s worth your attention. The Kindle version is just 99 cents until Sunday night. Apple Books and Kobo too. That’s less than a gas station coffee and considerably more life-changing. Already have the print version? Cool. The digital is searchable and the missed typos from the first printing have been dealt... Read more

Your Bible Is Missing Something. This Book Finds It. Only 99 cents until Sunday Night. Endorsements from 20 of the greatest scholars in the world. Hey, Frank here. Special email today. Time sensitive. I’ll be straight with you: most people read the New Testament the same way they read an IKEA manual — confused, slightly frustrated, and pretty sure they’re missing a key piece somewhere. Turns out, they are. My publisher just informed me that my new book – The... Read more

The Kingdom of God is Taken by Violence (interpreting and applying the words of Jesus in Matthew and Luke). Listen at https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ZzZIpbVlmJuu5rRx8JGh4?si=Setcm-3iSQys9uXWxzA71A From the Deeper Journey Team: For serious Jesus-followers only. This isn’t a message for atheists, agnostics, or skeptics. Frank Viola’s powerful conference message “The Kingdom of God Is Taken by Violence” argues that Jesus’ words about “violence” refer not to physical force but to an intense, inner, spiritual aggression by which disciples press into God’s fullness with desperate,... Read more

When Jesus seems distant, the antidote is not to run away from Him. Ignore Him. Or throw your hands up and decide to become a practical atheist. It’s to act as if He’s near. That’s called faith. You can’t see Him, but you believe that He is with you (as He promised) and act accordingly. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek... Read more

I want to thank all of you who heard the conference message ENCOUNTERING THE RISEN CHRIST: THEN AND NOW and emailed me about how powerfully and deeply it impacted you. It’s humbling to deliver a message at a live conference and hear from people who heard the recording tell you how it blew their minds and touched their spirits. If you missed it, you can listen to it here. Today I want to share something else that relates to the... Read more

“This is the most powerful and best message I’ve ever heard on the resurrection! A must for all Christians.” – Colin Kemp, pastor  Read more

I was blessed by this quote this week, especially after I found out who wrote it. “Christianity was also, to my surprise, radical – far more radical than the leftist ideologies with which I had previously been enamoured. The love of God was unlike anything which I expected, or of which I could make sense. In becoming fully human in Jesus, God behaved decidedly unlike a god. Why deign to walk through death’s dark valley, or hold the weeping limbs... Read more

Since 2008, I’ve been interviewed scores of times about the subject matter of my books. But this interview below that I did for my book ReGrace was by far the most fun — and the funniest — I’ve ever done. Everyone who was involved is a comedian at heart (as you’ll find out). If you have a copy of ReGrace, still listen because what we discuss goes way beyond what’s inside the book. I’m quite sure you’ll learn a few... Read more

What follows is the transcript of my audio interview with Christian apologist J. Warner Wallace on the gospel of the kingdom. Enjoy! J. Warner Wallace: What motivated you to write your landmark book, Insurgence: Reclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom? Frank Viola: I had a burden on my heart to see what the Scripture had to say about the kingdom of God. So I began to look at the subject from Genesis to Revelation. Not through a systematic theological lens,... Read more

Really glad to see that THE INSURGENCE PODCAST has exploded with serious Christians in their 20s and 30s as well as those older. It’s been ranked the #1 podcast on the Kingdom of God. My partners, Michael Heiser being one of them, help make the show a success. It’s the only podcast that covers every reference to the Kingdom of God in the New Testament chronologically. The humor and wit in the conversations is intact also. If you’re not aware... Read more
