Sassy Jesus

When Jesus Kept It Real

“Did Jesus really say that?”

Oh yes—He did. And then some.

Flipping tables. Calling out hypocrisy. Challenging corrupt systems and religious showmanship. This isn’t the soft-spoken, halo-glowing Jesus from Sunday School posters. This is the fully alive, fully divine, fiercely loving Jesus who wasn’t afraid to speak hard truths in holy love.

In Sassy Jesus, author Heather Hair explores the bold, untamed, and beautifully disruptive moments of Jesus’ ministry with scriptural depth and a wink of wit. Each chapter zooms in on a moment when Jesus said what others were too afraid to say—words that confronted pride, exposed injustice, and reminded everyone that grace isn’t weakness, and truth doesn’t have to be quiet.

But let’s be clear:

“Sassy” isn’t sarcasm. It’s not irreverence. It’s the fearless clarity of a Savior who knew who He was, loved people too much to stay silent, and wasn’t afraid to upend performative religion in order to invite people into something real.

Inside these pages, you’ll find:

• Deeply rooted reflections on Jesus’ boldest encounters

• Real-life, modern-day takeaways for living your faith with courage and compassion, along with a guided prayer in each chapter, and personal reflection questions to apply what you have just taken in

• A fresh perspective on a Savior who is both tender and tough, kind and uncompromising

If you’ve ever craved a faith that’s honest, gritty, and full of heart—this is for you.

Because Jesus isn’t sanitized. He’s stunning. He’s strong. And He’s so much more than we often give Him credit for.

This is not a tamed-down Jesus.

This is the real One. And the real Jesus doesn’t just invite you to believe—He invites you to belong.
