In this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, Rick Peterson dives into the true purpose of the Christian life. He points out that Christians can often become so consumed with church activities and duties that they lose sight of their central mission - to become more like Jesus. Peterson challenges modern evangelical practices, suggesting that they have strayed from biblical teachings and have instead become a form of entertainment designed to keep people engaged.
He criticises the commercialisation of Christianity, where messages are tailored to attract and retain followers rather than to promote genuine spiritual growth. Peterson emphasises that the real purpose of the Christian life is to embody the qualities of Jesus, trimming away anything that doesn't align with His teachings. This thought-provoking episode encourages believers to reflect on their spiritual journey and to seek a deeper, more authentic relationship with Christ.
