Hearing that the American Church is broken isn't a new thing for this show. We've talked about it endlessly over the years. Though I'm becoming more convinced that there's no fix for the problem. Jesus isn't the problem. He never was. We've built up the church as an idol. We've learned to worship pastors. We've forgotten what it means to be servants. We've lost the heart of Christ in the process of becoming successful and powerful.
Some things that are broken can never be mended. There is a broken priesthood and a fractured system that's in decline and it's not going to change. The church in America is dead, we just don't want to admit it yet.
Yes, this may sound hopeless, but that's not the case at all. In fact, it's actually exciting and we very well may be in the place where God intended. From death comes hope in new beginnings. We are not called to mourn the death of selfish, archaic systems that turned the church into a business and God's people into consumers. The broken priesthood has been a problem for centuries, but there is hope in what lies ahead down the road.
Let's delve into the glory and hope of the death of the American Church. Like the Titanic, the church has become a monument to arrogance and hubris. Like the Titanic, the church is sinking. So what does it look like with the decline of the church in America and why we should have hope. Tune in and let's find out.
