In this episode, Jeremy discusses the reasons so many churches have been reduced to spaces where attendees experience little more than a mediocre hybrid between a TED Talk and an inspirational speech. For part one, we talk about what we are not: we are not merely consuming things; we are not merely tribal things; and, we are not merely thinking or believing things. Taylor and Smith serve as guides to clarify how churches have misunderstood our basic Christian anthropology.
