The church may be jacked up-but it's not beyond repair. Every church has cracks-some hairline, others gaping. Underneath polished programs, passionate worship, and inspiring teaching, many communities are quietly fractured by pride, power struggles, misplaced identity, and unresolved pain. When guilt, fear, and shame shake the foundation of a church, it's tempting to patch over the mess and hope no one notices. But what if the only way forward is through a season of uncomfortable renovation? In The Jacked-Up Church, Michael DiMarco applies the same gritty honesty and restorative hope that defined The Jacked-Up Life to the broken body of Christ. This book isn't a takedown-it's a call to deep, collective reflection and healing. With a bold blend of spiritual insight and practical wisdom, DiMarco helps pastors, leaders, and lay members confront: The hidden dysfunctions we spiritualize or ignore The cultural identities we've substituted for Christ The fear of conflict that prevents real discipleship The pride that masks as vision, and the shame that silences truth Whether your church is in crisis, decline, or simply coasting on past momentum, The Jacked-Up Church dares to ask: What are we really building on-and are we willing to lift the structure and rebuild from the ground up? This is a book for the bold. For those who still believe the Church, even in its most jacked-up state, is worth restoring. And for those who know that a cracked foundation doesn't mean collapse-it means it's time for the crew to show up and get to work.
