Culture Shifters Podcast Ep 25 - Has the Church Become a Business

Churches need budgets. They need buildings. They need staff. None of those things are the problem. But what happens when growth becomes the goal instead of making disciples?In this episode of the Culture Shifters Podcast, we tackle one of the most challenging conversations facing the Church today: Has the Church become a business? We explore what Scripture says, look at the model of the early church, and discuss where modern ministry may be getting it right—and where it may be drifting from its mission.This episode isn't about attacking the Church. We love the Church because Jesus loves the Church. Our goal is to encourage healthy, biblical conversations that lead us back to what matters most: the Gospel, discipleship, and the mission Christ gave us.Whether you're a pastor, church leader, volunteer, or someone wrestling with church culture, this conversation is for you.These conversations are never meant to offend—they're meant to challenge us, encourage us, and ultimately point us back to Jesus.Live Boldly. Impact Deeply. Shift Our Culture.
