Ever felt like your church is more about entertainment than spiritual growth? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson doesn't hold back. He tackles the tough issue of pastoral neglect, comparing the self-serving approach of some modern pastors to the sacrificial work of Christ and his apostles. These pastors might be great entertainers or inspirational speakers, but they fall short as true spiritual leaders.
Rick argues that this kind of neglect is a form of abuse that needs to be addressed head-on. He passionately urges listeners to seek out genuine, Christ-centred teaching and communities that truly nurture their faith. If you're feeling disillusioned with shallow church experiences, this episode offers a refreshing and challenging perspective.
