Jemar Tisby
Jemar Tisby came to faith inside white evangelicalism. It formed his theology, shaped his convictions about race and religion, and told him he belonged. For a long time, he believed it was home.
A rising star, he founded a Christian nonprofit, hosted a popular podcast, and wrote for evangelical outlets. Then he began telling the truth about race, and the vitriol came from fellow Christians. He discovered that if you talk about racial justice in white spaces long enough, you either sell out, burn out, or get pushed out.
Notes from an Evangelical Reject is his story, but it may be yours too. If you have watched American Christianity trade the gospel for power, Tisby shows where it came from and how white Christian nationalism grew from the same soil. He shows that walking away from a community that merely tolerates you can be the truest act of faith. His story will affirm what you have long sensed and embolden you to act.
For the disillusioned believer wondering what waits on the other side, and for anyone alarmed by religion weaponized for power, here is a clear-eyed history of how the nation’s most influential religious movement captured democracy itself and a hope-filled guide to what you can build after rejection.

Reviews
“Tisby minces no words in calling out the threat of Christian nationalism and the flawed ways in which the church views racism. . . . It’s a valuable commentary on faith and justice in modern America.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“This is a necessary word for a dangerous hour. But this is no bitter exit memoir. It is a map for the faithful who refuse to confuse Jesus with nationalism.”—Rev. Frederick Douglass Haynes III, PhD, senior pastor, Friendship-West Baptist Church
“Jemar Tisby has given us a courageous and necessary book for this moment. With a historian’s precision and a pastor’s heart, he names the cost of belonging when silence is required and reconciliation is pursued without justice. Notes from an Evangelical Reject reminds us that rejection does not have the final word; Jesus does.”—Latasha Morrison, New York Times bestselling author of Be the Bridge
“Tisby captures the slow disillusionment, the cost of speaking up, and the search for somewhere to belong after leaving evangelicalism. For anyone who has had to leave a spiritual community or wondered whether they could, this book is a reminder that leaving is not the same as losing faith.”—Sarah McCammon, New York Times bestselling author of The Exvangelicals
“An essential work in the struggle against white Christian nationalism. Dr. Jemar Tisby explores and reminds us what actual Christianity looks like when political power, racial hierarchy, and institutional self-interest are stripped away. A loving treatise on Jesus’s actual movement that doesn’t shy away from ugly truths but confronts them with brilliance and grace, this book feels like coming home to spiritual sanity.”—John Fugelsang, New York Times bestselling author of Separation of Church and Hate
“Jemar Tisby details a religious movement that offered Black Christians belonging but ultimately brought betrayal. Notes from an Evangelical Reject narrates an unsettling record of personal pain while also delivering a critically important piece of church history.”—Garrison Hayes, journalist and content creator
