Has the American Church become an enterprise?

In this eye-opening episode, Scott Schalchlin and I explore the tension that exists between excellence for the sake of the Gospel and excellence for performance sake.

We discuss how some churches are becoming more like marketing presentations and shows, rather than being focused on helping hurting people. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to better understand the state of the Church in America today.
