In this episode, Shanda takes an honest look at consumerism within the American church and challenges believers to evaluate whether they approach church like a spiritual family or like a membership-based service built for personal convenience. From coffee shops and children's programs to worship preferences and polished productions, modern church culture can easily prioritize comfort over commitment. But is that what Scripture teaches? By comparing the Western church to persecuted churches around the world and examining biblical expectations for both church leadership and church members, this episode calls Christians back to active discipleship, service, and biblical community.
