Pastor Steven Whitlow joins the show to delve into the concept of post-denominationalism and its significance in fostering church unity to save America. He sheds light on the unintended repercussions of the seeker/mega church model, which include the church being treated as a product, the downplaying of doctrinal matters, and the transformation of the church into a mere social club. To counter these negative effects, Pastor Whitlow presents us with a four-step post-denominational approach: 1. Embrace simplicity 2. Unify around core doctrine 3. Preach clear Biblical truth 4. Choose big impact over big church Pastor Steven is the founding and lead pastor of Redemption Church, a post-denominational church in Monclova, Ohio. He is also the founder and president of Revere Bible College, established in 2023.
