Overview

What happens when your grandma's Bible stories crash into TikTok sermons, AI starts asking ""What is soul?,"" and your pastor's private jet fundraisers go viral for all the wrong reasons? Spoiler: It's not the apocalypse. It's just Tuesday. In Burnt Offerings, Drew Wohlford invites you to a front-row seat at the dumpster fire of modern faith-where the holy and the messy collide in ways that'll make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even ugly-cry into your casserole dish. This isn't your grandma's devotional. It's a survival guide for anyone who's ever: Wondered if God's okay with you binge-watching Netflix instead of reading Leviticus. Accidentally joined a Zoom prayer group that turned into a crypto scam. Googled ""Is Jesus cooler than my atheist roommate?"" (Spoiler: Yes, but He'd probably help your roommate move.) Dive into chapters where UFO cults, TikTok faithfluencers, and trauma-tested believers prove that spirituality is weirder, wilder, and more wonderful than any sermon dared to admit. You'll meet: A ex-pastor who now runs a ""Holy Ouchies"" support group out of a waffle house. A Gen Z mystic who argues the metaverse is the new ""upper room."" (Her avatar has baptized 200 people and counting.) A grandma smuggling contraband communion wine into a robot-led worship service. (""The AI kept calling it 'liquid salvation.exe.' Not on my watch."") With equal parts snark and grace, Burnt Offerings tackles the questions churches avoid: Can you deconstruct your faith without becoming a TikTok villain? (Yes, but you'll need a therapist and a solid meme game.) What if the ""prosperity gospel"" is just spiritual MLM? (Spoiler: Jesus never sold leggings.) Is God offended by your blasphemous memes... or is He sliding into the comments like, ""Nice one. Let's talk.""? Perfect for the spiritually curious, the deconstructing, the ""done with church but not with Jesus"" crowd, and anyone who's ever burned a casserole (or a Bible), this book is a love letter to the doubters, the rebels, and the ones still scraping hope off the floor of a half-empty sanctuary. Come for the chaos. Stay for the grace-slathered hope. Because faith isn't about getting the recipe right-it's about passing the dish, even when it's charred, and trusting that God's big enough to handle the smoke. Final Line: ""Grab a fork. The table's bigger than you think, the menu's grace-for-all, and yes-there's always room for seconds.""
