Jesus & Me

Kirk Sheppard

Forty-five years inside evangelical certainty. Three degrees at Bible college. A gay man who hid it for most of his adult life. When the walls finally cracked, they didn't fall quietly.

Genre Faith Memoir
Available in Paperback & Hardcover
The book

Questioning everything.

When a TikTok video by a biblical scholar cracked the foundation of everything he believed, Kirk didn't lose his faith quietly. He wrestled with it — through his counseling practice, through decades of shame and secrecy, through the slow, painful, sometimes hilarious process of figuring out what was real and what was inherited.

Jesus & Me is the story of that process. It's funny, honest, and unresolved in all the right ways. Kirk doesn't pretend to have arrived somewhere tidy. He's still at the table — still asking questions, still holding anger and compassion at the same time, still figuring out what Jesus means to him now that he's stopped calling himself a Christian.
