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.

The discussion raises concerns about the implications of this approach on the depth of biblical teaching and the spiritual growth of church members.
