Has the Church Lost Its Way?


Listen Later

The question of whether the American church has lost its way is a complex and contentious one, with no single answer that applies universally. On one hand, some argue that certain segments of the American church have deviated from their core principles of love, compassion, and social justice, becoming entangled in partisan politics, controversial social issues, and divisive rhetoric. This shift has led to a perception of the church as more focused on power and influence rather than spiritual guidance and moral leadership.
