Well written and spot on!! We recently changed Church's as we realized as the Pastor of the one we'd been attending was more interested in being liked, growing the congregation, raising funds, and making everyone feel good. We gave him and the Church Elders Eric Metaxis's book - A Letter to the American Church as it somewhat lays out what's required of a leading Pastor. Sadly, he ignored it. We know he will continue to grow the Church as so many don't know what they are missing in a Church leader. We believe we have now found a strong, unafraid leader in our new Church. It is a small Church, yet this Pastor is not afraid to talk the talk or offend.
I honestly feel the Church is greatly culpable. Kudos to you for sharing Eric Metaxas' book and his movie is excellent as well, and I applaud your changing churches.
Thank you Debbie 🙏
