Has the church become more focused on making people feel better than calling them to follow Christ?

In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken Ortize explores the rise of therapeutic Christianity and how modern culture has influenced the way many churches approach the Christian life.

From positive thinking and self esteem to self help and personal fulfillment, today's message often sounds very different from the biblical call to repentance, holiness, and discipleship. How did this shift happen? What role has psychology played in shaping the modern church? And what does Scripture teach about true transformation?

Discover why the gospel offers something far greater than temporary happiness. It offers reconciliation with God, new life in Christ, and the hope of eternity.

Join us as we examine these important questions and return to the timeless truth of God's Word.

The Church has never lacked strategies. What it cannot afford to lose is its dependence on the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken explores the rise of the Church Growth Movement and asks an important question: Has strategy replaced the Holy Spirit?

Drawing from Scripture, the early church in Acts, and examples from church history, Pastor Ken examines how modern ministry can become overly dependent on marketing, demographics, and organizational success while neglecting prayer, biblical conviction, and the power of God's Spirit.

Church growth is not the problem. The danger comes when our confidence shifts from God's presence to human methods.

Join Pastor Ken for a thoughtful and biblical discussion that challenges every believer to ask where our trust truly belongs.

Why did so many Bible-believing churches withdraw from the culture during the twentieth century?

In this episode of What's the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken Ortize continues the "What's the Church Coming To?"series by examining the historical forces that reshaped Christianity. As higher criticism, secularism, and evolutionary thinking gained influence, many believers responded by separating from the culture rather than engaging it—leading to what became known as "The Frozen Chosen."

Pastor Ken traces this journey through church history, explaining how the authority of Scripture came under attack, why many Christians retreated from public life, and how leaders like Billy Graham helped call the church back to engaging the world with biblical truth instead of fear.

This episode is both a history lesson and a challenge for believers today: How can Christians stand firmly on God's Word while faithfully reaching the culture around them?

Over the past several weeks, we've explored the growing doctrinal shifts taking place within the modern church. But where did those changes begin?

In this episode, Pastor Ken examines one of the most foundational questions facing Christians today: Has the acceptance of evolution changed the way the church understands Scripture?

More than a scientific debate, evolution represents a worldview that challenges the opening chapters of Genesis. If Genesis is no longer history, what happens to the doctrines of creation, sin, redemption, marriage, and the authority of God's Word?

Join us as we examine why Genesis matters, how it shapes the entire biblical story, and why the foundation of our faith begins in the very first pages of Scripture.
