The Impact of Consumerism on Disciple Making Part 4: Demands of Consumerism


Listen Later

We’ve learned a lot about consumerism so far. Notably, its three tenets, 1. Satisfaction Can Be Purchased 2. Purchasing Power is Found in Systems 3. System Participation Demands Our Identity

 

3 Demands of Consumers:

  1. I must get what I want NOW. (DoorDash, everything!)
  • I must get what I want MY WAY. (Burger King)
  • I must be able to RETURN what I actually don’t want and TRY AGAIN (at your expense). (Amazon)
  •  

    Takeaway: Consumers have demands because they believe the product will satisfy.

     

    Action Step: Consider the demands you are making on your faith community. Ask the question are you a consumer or an stakeholder in your local church? (Understanding without changing never leads to growth.)
