The world doesn't need bullies or bystanders. It needs bridges.
We are living in a cultural firestorm. Truth is under attack, lies are celebrated, and believers are pressured to either cave in silence or explode in rage. On one side is the ditch of reckless boldness-people who thunder with truth but have no love. On the other side is the ditch of passive brokenness-those who weep over sin but never stand against it. Both leave the world more divided than before.
But there is a better way. Boldness anchored in brokenness. Courage wrapped in compassion. Truth spoken through tears. That's how believers become bridges-connecting heaven and earth, God and people.
In Bold & Broken, David and Jason Benham call believers everywhere to rise and "stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30). Originally released in 2019, this updated edition revisits that urgent message in light of recent events-including the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk-that have shaken our nation and revealed the cost of standing for truth. Through powerful stories, biblical insight, and their own battle scars from cultural clashes, the Benhams show how you can:
-
Resist destructive ideas without becoming destructive yourself
-
Stand firm in truth while reaching out in love
-
Turn conviction into courage and compassion into connection
-
Live as a bridge in a culture desperate for hope
This is not a time to retreat. It's not a time to rage. It's a time to rise. To fight in the war of ideas with bold courage and broken humility-knowing we don't fight for victory but from victory.
The world is watching. The gap is widening. But the church is strengthening!
The call has never been louder: Be the bridge. Stand in the gap. Now.
AUTHORS DAVID & JASON BENHAM
Twin brothers, David and Jason Benham, are former professional baseball players, best-selling authors, speakers, and nationally acclaimed entrepreneurs. Their rapid rise to success earned them a reality show with HGTV set to air in the Fall of 2014 – yet the show was abruptly cancelled because of their commitment to Biblical values.
Appearing on CNN, Fox News, ABC’s Nightline & Good Morning America, the Benhams continue to stand up for what they believe and encourage others to do the same. The brothers are happily married with a combined 9 children and live in Charlotte, NC. Their best-selling book, Whatever the Cost, shares their story along with Biblical principles that equip you to live courageously in today’s culture.
WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING
“We love the Benhams and their courageous hearts for sharing the love of Jesus in tough places and their ongoing passion for helping people and proclaiming the Word of God.”
— Stephen Kendrick, producer of War Room, Courageous, and Fireproof
“In our increasingly divided and secular culture, David and Jason Benham are a breath of fresh air with their unapologetic devotion to Christ and their love for others. They are some of the most mission-minded people I know, constantly seeking to bring the mercy and truth of Jesus to those who cross their paths. Bold and Broken is sure to light a fire under many folks who long to have an eternal impact for the Kingdom.”
— Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family
“I’ve asked God to show me how to be a tool in His hand as He builds His Kingdom, one person at a time, and exports the principles of Heaven to Earth. David and Jason Behnam’s new book is full of wisdom, funny stories, and a practical answer to that prayer! Not only do they tell us how to join with God in this cosmic-sized mission, they inspire us with examples of real people who are doing it today! This book will challenge you, motivate you, and guide you as you seek to live a life of connecting Heaven to Earth.”
— Kirk Cameron, television and film actor
“Faith in God and sacrificial service built America into the greatest, most prosperous nation in human history. Unfortunately, much has changed, and the results are devastating to our family, friends, and neighbors. David and Jason Benham have dedicated their lives to pointing the way back to a nation God can bless again. More than that, they are leading the way with their lives, ministry, and now this book. Bold and Broken is packed full of the inspiration and equipping we need to pull America back from the brink. I strongly encourage you to buy, read, and share it widely.”
— David Limbaugh, bestselling author of Jesus is Risen and The True Jesus
