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.

"Whatever you draw people in WITH is what you draw them TO,"

Is your church more about drawing crowds than growing genuine faith? In this episode, we dive into the idea of "consumer Christianity" and how it’s shaping modern churches, how flashy, consumer-driven methods can actually distort the true gospel.

We’ll also talk about Paul’s simple approach from 1 Corinthians, and why relying on charismatic pastors or overcomplicated teachings can leave people spiritually dependent, instead of pushing them toward a deeper relationship with Jesus. Plus, we'll touch on the parable of the soils, discussing why real discipleship is about authentic relationships and long-term growth, not quick fixes or traditions that weigh people down. Let’s reThink what church should be and rediscover a more authentic, life-changing faith.
