Jefferson Bethke

Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation in 2012 with a passionate, provocative poem titled “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus.” The 4-minute video literally became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). The message blew up on social-media, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged. He currently resides in Tacoma, WA, with his wife, Alyssa. Jefferson Bethke is not associated with Single Christianity Magazine. We believe his videos speak so deeply to the core of many single Christians and they are included throughout the website.
