Religion & Spirituality
Move over televangelists, there's a new prosperity gospel in town. Except this time, it's focused on personal fulfillment, "self-actualizing," and aiming to live an Instagram-perfect lifestyle.The contemporary church is heavily borrowing from the self-focused culture around us and it is leading many believers away from the simple, humble, God-focused truths of Scripture.On this episode, we speak with Dean Inserra about how we can guard against hollow, self-focused religion and instead pursue Christ-centered Christianity.On this episode we’ll discuss:Why self-focused Christianity is on the riseHow this trend compares to the traditional "health and wealth" prosperity gospelExamples of this new prosperity gospel and what to watch out forWhy the notion that God exists for our personal desires is antithetical to ScriptureHow we can avoid falling into believe-in-yourself-religion and help others out of it See the Show Notes at ReasonableTheology.org/Episode40Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/reasonabletheology)
