Do Seeker--Focused Churches Harm Revival?

from God is the Issue Podcast · host Bright Media

Is the church in America truly ready for God to send revival? Brad Bright believes the seeker-focused church movement—though well-intentioned—has weakened the church. By sanitizing God’s truth in the name of love, many churches have made God “safe” instead of sacred.In this episode of the God is the Issue Podcast, Brad unpacks:✅ The dangers of seeker-focused church culture✅ Why minimizing God’s holiness undermines truth✅ How to follow Jesus AND fish for men without compromise✅ Practical steps every believer can take to prepare for revivalC.S. Lewis once said: “God is not safe, but He is good.” If that’s true, then the church must rediscover what it means to be sacred, not just safe.👉 What do you think? Should the primary purpose of church be a safe place for seekers or a sacred place for believers? Comment below!If this message challenges or encourages you, please like, share, and subscribe.
