Welcome to Coffee with the Pastor. Today Pastor Andy (West Fayetteville Baptist) and Pastor Tony McVickers (Rockfish Church) unpack the mess around viral “giving” clips and ask: What does the Bible actually say about money, leadership, and church culture? In this episode:
  • Why coercive giving violates 2 Corinthians 9:7
  • The difference between needs, wants, and optics in ministry
  • Six red flags of a toxic church culture
    1. Greed / prosperity pressure
    2. Lack of clear vision & direction (project-to-project survival)
    3. Hierarchical celebrity structures (no accountability)
    4. Overt control & insecurity
    5. Unbiblical restrictions & legalism
    6. “We’re the only true church” criticism culture
  • How to respond if you’ve been manipulated: search Scripture (Acts 17:11), ask hard questions, seek transparency, and find a healthy, Bible-teaching church
  • Pastors: stewardship, accountability, and being servant leaders (Mark 10:42–45)
Key Scriptures: 2 Cor. 9:7; Ezek. 34; Acts 17:11; 1 Pet. 4:17; Mark 10:42–45; Rom. 12:17–21 Takeaway: Give cheerfully, not under compulsion. Honor leaders—without enabling abuse. And remember, we represent Jesus, not a brand. If you’re in the Fayetteville area:
