049: The PROBLEM With Green Room Culture In The Evangelical Church


Listen Later

In this episode of the Church Disrupted Podcast, Jeff Cochran, Leann Reece, and Vicki May discuss the impact of celebrity culture in the church, specifically the green room mentality in a lot of churches. They highlight the contradiction between the call to be servants and the pursuit of celebrity status in modern Christianity. This conversation explores the negative side of the church green room, particularly in relation to volunteer exploitation and the pressures of celebrity culture, as well as what we can do about it to build healthier environments in our churches.
