Life can be so hard! And so, human nature being wired as it is, we tend to unplug, tend to deal with life by being apathetic. In this episode on how Christians get caught and re-programmed in the Matrix, Mark and I think aloud together about how complacency devours both believers' faith and the Church's saltiness. God designed us all with muscles: physical muscles, mental, emotional, and spiritual muscles. Complacency makes all kinds of muscles get soft, weak, incapable. It's sort of like a tiny physical cell—a cell's walls can get so weak that external forces can penetrate and poisen the cell. Obviously, we don't want that to happen to believers, to anyone! So come think and laugh with us about job complacency, cultural complacency, and the complacency that so subtley drains our lives.
