Kirk Sheppard grew up immersed in the Christian faith-attending church, studying at Bible college, and even teaching there. But his journey as a professional counselor and seeker of truth led him to question everything he once believed about faith, religion, and Jesus.

Through this book-part memoir, part self-help-Kirk invites readers into his journey of examining, deconstructing, and reimagining faith.

In Jesus & Me, Kirk navigates themes of certainty, humility, and alignment, questioning the power structures and teachings that shaped his early life. By confronting religious trauma and exploring Jesus' message through a new lens, he offers a path for readers to rebuild their faith in ways that honor both truth and authenticity.

Through reflections on forgiveness, humility, and the courage to walk away from damaging beliefs, Kirk's story shows how the teachings of Jesus-compassion, justice, and love-can guide us toward a life that's more aligned with who we truly are. His journey is a call to find spiritual connection beyond dogma, with an emphasis on kindness, humility, and healing from past wounds.

For anyone questioning, exploring, or yearning for a faith that feels real and transformative, Jesus & Me is both a comforting companion and a powerful call to live with authenticity, courage, and connection.
