When faith is used as a weapon, the only faithful response is resistance.

THE ALT KING IS BORN: Rejoice and Do Not Be Afraid Book Two of FAITHFUL RESISTANCE: Seeking the Way of Jesus Together

Who is Jesus—really?

In a world where Christian nationalism is reshaping public life and redefining faith, many believers find themselves caught between the Jesus they long to follow and the distorted image promoted in the name of power. This shift in theology has left countless Christians wondering how the humble teacher from Nazareth became a symbol of control, fear, and exclusion.

In The Alt King Is Born: Rejoice and Do Not Be Afraid, Angela M. Becek invites readers back to the beginning—to the birth narratives and early chapters of the Gospels—to rediscover who Jesus is and what his kingship actually means against the competing narrative of Empire. Through historical context, theological insight, and honest reflection, Becek exposes how biblicism and ideology have overshadowed the message of Jesus, replacing compassion with conquest.

This book challenges the assumptions of a "high view of Scripture" that elevates select passages over the teachings of Christ himself. Instead, it offers a courageous, faithful exploration of Advent—one that embraces mystery, questions, and hope.

Whether you are devoted, doubtful, or somewhere in between, The Alt King Is Born welcomes you into a richer understanding of Jesus—one rooted not in dominion but in love, humility, and the liberating way of Christ.

Come and rediscover the Alt King—and the good news we can all embrace.
