“Football has been described as 22 men on the field in desperate need of rest, and 60,000 fans in the stands in desperate need of exercise. In the spirit of Trueblood and Bonhoeffer, Not A Fan challenges believers to get out of their seats, strap on the gear and get in the game. Not A Fan is not for the faint of heart… it’s for those who want to join a company of the committed, and to obey what they claim to believe.”
— Rev. Jon Kulaga, Ph.D. Provost, Asbury University

— Neal Joseph, Sr. VP of International Development, Compassion International

“I encourage friends to use ‘not a fan,’ the small group discipleship study for adults. We live in a culture where so many people embrace faith on a minimal basis. In fact, the word, “Christian,” has become a minimal term and almost useless. People need to discover the real joy making Jesus Christ fully integral to all of life. This study series will help make it happen.”
