When church becomes a spectacle, it can be easy to confuse excitement with spiritual maturity. This week, Pastor Ken Ortize examines what he calls “Carnival Christianity” — the pressure to make church bigger, louder, more entertaining, and more sensational in order to attract and keep a crowd. But when personalities, productions, emotional experiences, and audience numbers become the measure of success, what happens to biblical teaching, genuine worship, discipleship, and spiritual depth? In this episode of What’s the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken challenges us to reconsider what the church is actually called to produce: not an audience waiting for the next show, but faithful followers of Jesus Christ. www.wtwcomingto.com

The Chosen has become one of the most popular Christian television series in the world, praised by many for making Jesus and the Gospel feel more relatable. But does making the Bible more relatable come at the cost of biblical accuracy? In this episode of What’s the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken Ortize takes a critical look at The Chosen and raises concerns about its extensive use of invented dialogue, fictional backstories, altered timelines, and extra-biblical material. When Scripture is silent, how much creative license should we take? Can a dramatized version of Jesus begin to shape our understanding of Him more than the biblical text itself? Pastor Ken explains why he believes Christians should approach biblical entertainment carefully and why, when it comes to knowing Jesus, the book is still better than the movie. www.wtwcomingto.com

In this episode of What’s the World Coming To?, Pastor Ken continues the What’s the Church Coming To? series with a look at “TV Christianity” and how television, media, and entertainment have reshaped the modern church. When worship becomes a spectacle, pastors become personalities, and the congregation becomes an audience, does the message itself begin to change? Pastor Ken examines how the demand to capture attention can compress doctrine, elevate celebrity, and turn disciples into consumers. How can the Church use modern media without allowing the medium to redefine the message? www.wtwcomingto.com

What does it really mean to have faith? As Pastor Ken continues the “What’s the Church Coming To?” series, he examines the rise and influence of Word-Faith theology, positive confession, the prosperity gospel, and the belief that enough faith — or the right words — can change our circumstances. From the historical roots of these ideas to their influence on modern Christianity, Pastor Ken asks an important question: Have we turned faith from trust in God into a spiritual force we believe we can control? Biblical faith isn’t about getting God to accomplish our will. It’s about trusting Him enough to surrender to His. Faith in God… or faith in faith? www.wtwcomingto.com

Pastor Ken continues the “What’s the Church Coming To?” series with a look at the rise of church marketing, the seeker-sensitive movement, and the growing influence of consumerism on modern Christianity. There is nothing wrong with excellence, communicating clearly, or wanting to reach more people. But what happens when success in ministry becomes measured by attendance, giving, buildings, programs, and production rather than biblical depth and spiritual maturity? In this episode, Pastor Ken examines how the pursuit of growth and relevance has shaped the modern church and asks an important question: Has the church become a business? www.wtwcomingto.com
