 Well, it seems like I'm not the only one who's felt uncomfortable about some of the manipulation tactics that the church has utilized for me It's always an icky feeling when that happens kids getting riled up on a spiritual high Committing their life to Christ, but then the next day acting the exact same way as if nothing happened Unfortunately, what's motivated a lot of these manipulative tactics within the church is the desire for people to just get saved as Opposed to a focus on discipleship the church may use whatever tactics necessary to just get you in the kingdom But have no long-term vision for what it looks like to follow Jesus daily You see instead of watered-down self-help sermons that are just used to get people on a spiritual high We need teaching that is gospel centric and focused on grounding people in the word of God Follow for more Christ-centered content and support my mission on patreon
