🎙️ Not Offended Podcast | Episode: Pastors for Profit

Welcome back to the Not Offended Podcast — where culture, controversy, and the Church collide.

In this loaded episode, the guys break down everything from the $62 million high school football stadium that puts some pro teams to shame, to how churches can—and should—handle safety in an increasingly unpredictable world. They tackle the tragic story of a church shooting in Seattle, challenge the stigma around church security, and unpack what it means to be watchful without being judgmental.

Plus, you’ll hear hot takes on the controversial AB 495 bill, what it means for families in California, and why Christians can’t afford to sit out of politics. As always, the crew keeps it real with a hilarious detour into “divorced dad rock,” the church’s favorite sports, and what happens when you miss your moment with God.

But the real smoke? Worship nights with a price tag. The guys ask the hard questions: Have we turned sacred spaces into stages for profit? Is it still about ministry when it costs $100 to "worship"? And where do we draw the line between honorariums and hustle?
