We explore how focusing on growth, buildings, and programs has overshadowed discipleship and genuine community. It’s time for a hard reset—discover what it means to strip away the distractions and get back to the heart of the church as Jesus intended.

1. Entertainment-driven models of "Church" are a major contributor
2. How The Church is not a "hospital for the broken"
3. How we revive true discipleship that actually works

Is the modern church really following Christ's teachings, or are we catering to a consumer-driven culture?

In this episode, we question the megachurch model, its focus on entertainment, and whether it's staying true to scripture. We’ll talk about why it’s so important for churches to reassess their traditions and get back to the heart of the Gospel.

We also dive into the parable of the seed in Mark 4, exploring how true discipleship goes beyond surface-level commitments—it requires daily surrender, like a marriage built on trust and love. Using real-life examples from Luke 9, we’ll unpack the shortcomings of consumer-driven Christianity and the radical call to follow Jesus above all else.

Lastly, we’ll shift focus to the importance of multi-generational impact and spiritual reproduction over just growing numbers. Reflecting on John 15 and 1 Corinthians 2, we highlight the value of simplicity in discipleship and how it can lead to lasting, exponential growth that glorifies God. Tune in as we peel back the layers of religious tradition and uncover the true mission of the church.
