Favored or Forsaken: Megachurches

1 hour 1 minute

Cue the lights and crank up that fog machine because this Favored or Forsaken episode is all about Megachurches. Whether you’re looking for a wildly specific ministry group or a worship service presented in three different languages, all are welcome here as we explore the things that megachurches don’t often get credit for and the things that might deserve a little criticism. Grab your coffee, fade into the crowd, and get ready for that volunteer campaign as we unpack the history and impact of this Christian cultural phenomenon.
