Is Easter still about Jesus... or has it become a flashy production built on gimmicks, entertainment, and clickbait ads?In this episode of the Church Disrupted podcast, Jeff peels back the pastel curtain on what’s really happening in churches this time of year—from helicopter egg drops and 4/20-themed promotions to salvation “metrics” that would make the Apostle Paul cringe.We’re diving into 3 troubling trends that reveal a deeper issue in the modern church:🚨 Churches advertising to people instead of engaging with them🚨 Church becoming more of an event to attend than a community to belong to🚨 A shallow version of salvation that doesn’t reflect the call to count the cost✝️ Using scripture, real examples, and honest questions, Jeff challenges both church leaders and everyday believers to rethink how we measure impact—and what we’re actually offering people this Easter.Whether you agree, disagree, or land somewhere in between, stick around to the end for practical takeaways to help your church center Jesus, not gimmicks, this Easter season.👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments:Are we reaching people with the gospel or just selling a religious product?
