Are smoke machines, basketball-dribbling pastors, and maple syrup on Bibles ruining the Church? Jobbin and Jeswin tackle one of Christianity's biggest complaints: performative worship and celebrity pastors. From megachurch spectacles to hypocritical worship leaders in brown churches, they discuss why Gen Z is fleeing to traditional churches, what the Bible says about honoring God versus entertaining crowds, and the dangerous gap between Sunday mornings and everyday lives. If you've ever walked into a service and thought "this feels more like a show than a sanctuary," this episode is for you. Plus: hot takes on Mike Todd, John Crist, and why communion might be the answer we're all missing.

Topics Covered:

• Why performative Christianity turns people away
• The celebrity pastor problem (we're calling out names)
• Hypocrisy in worship leadership
• Gen Z's surprising shift toward traditional churches
• The difference between excellence and excess
• How the gospel gets distorted when holiness is minimized
• Practical steps: Should you stay or go?

This is Episode 2 of the Church Complaint Box series—where we address the biggest grievances about modern church culture with candor, conviction, and a commitment to Jesus over the show.
