“Jesus doesn’t want fans. He wants completed committed followers”- Kyle Idleman
Pastor and author, Kyle Idleman will hold a live webcast and audience event from the well known, 29,000 member, Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY on Sunday, May 22, to share the message of “Not a Fan,” which has been made popular through his messages, DVD teaching series and new book releasing on May 31 through Zondervan (ISBN: 0310331951). The event is in reaction to a growing movement in churches across the nation as congregations declare that they are “Not a Fan” of Jesus. The night will also include a personal message from New York Times bestselling author, Lee Strobel, and a special performance of “Until the Whole World Hears” by Mark Hall of the Grammy Award-winning band “Casting Crowns.”
With the “Not a Fan” movement, Kyle is addressing the celebrity-driven fan culture that is permeating Christianity. The word “fan” is defined in the dictionary as “an enthusiastic admirer,” but Kyle preaches that Jesus isn’t interested in fans that push the ‘like’ button on Christianity – Jesus wants completely committed followers. Using the passage in Luke 9:23, of Jesus’ invitation to follow Him, Kyle challenges his audience to ask themselves, “Am I a fan or a follower?”

Let Kyle read Scriptures rather than his own celebrity sermon. Or, is his sermon better than Scripture reading, belying distrust in the sufficiency of Scripture?
Let him call for the disciplined Churchmanship implied by Prayer Book disciplines. He, himself, best we know, is just another celebrity and "American."
