Rachel Hollis: A Review through a Gospel Grid - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

            Rachel
Hollis has seemingly taken the Christian book world by storm and (somewhat)
rightfully so. I recently read both of her books. Her talent, confidence, and
intelligence are undeniable. Pastors who have not heard of Hollis or who do not
think that she has made her way into their churches are sadly oblivious. Hollis
certainly presents a strong message to readers. Her two books, Girl, Stop Apologizing and Girl, Wash Your Face have sold many
copies and made millions of dollars. Any time someone has as much influence as
Rachel Hollis on any Christian group (most commonly women in this case),
pastors should, at the least, understand the message being submitted. I will
make a bold statement in that Rachel Hollis’ message is not the gospel and is,
in fact, antithetical to the gospel. While I do not know Hollis’ personal
motivations or even consider her work to be evil in itself, a few items
surrounding her work concern me. Thankfully, my thoughts parallel those of many
other Christians who think about these issues so I am not the first to review
her work in this way. For the remainder here, I will examine these items
through the lens of the gospel and discuss how Rachel Hollis’ message
contradicts the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
