Reasonable Theology Podcast Getting Over Believe-In-Yourself Religion | RTP 40
Move over televangelists, there's a new prosperity gospel in town. Except this time, it's focused on personal fulfillment, "self-actualizing," and aiming to live an Instagram-perfect lifestyle.
The contemporary church is heavily borrowing from the self-focused culture around us and it is leading many believers away from the simple, humble, God-focused truths of Scripture.
On this episode, we speak with Dean Inserra about how we can guard against hollow, self-focused religion and instead pursue Christ-centered Christianity.
On this episode we’ll discuss:
- Why self-focused Christianity is on the rise
- How this trend compares to the traditional "health and wealth" prosperity gospel
- Examples of this new prosperity gospel and what to watch out for
- Why the notion that God exists for our personal desires is antithetical to Scripture
- How we can avoid falling into believe-in-yourself-religion and help others out of it
