The Megachurch Shift: Emotion Over Theology

This chapter examines the trend among megachurches, particularly highlighting Stephen Furtick's influence in prioritizing emotional appeal over traditional preaching. It critiques the techniques used to engage congregations, such as manipulating sensory elements to evoke emotional responses, which may undermine critical thinking. The discussion raises concerns about the implications of this approach on the depth of biblical teaching and the spiritual growth of church members.
