That journey leads into Revelation 17–19, Babylon, the command to “come out of her,” and Zack’s eventual decision to enter church ministry. From there, the conversation examines the American church growth model, 501(c)(3) church culture, mega churches, youth ministry, Vacation Bible School, church membership, pastoral leadership, and whether the modern Sunday-centered model actually resembles the church described in Scripture.
