In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Oghosa Iyamu to talk about a current trend that is making discipleship difficult – Consumeristic Christianity. They discuss how attraction-driven ministry shapes our discipleship, why it can stunt our spiritual growth, and how sound theology and community can help believers engage God’s vision for the local church, discipleship, and mission more deeply. 

Main Takeaways
  • Consumeristic Christianity prioritizes receiving over serving.
  • True spiritual experiences should lead to lasting transformation.
  • Discipleship should happen primarily in and through the local church
  • Content creators should strengthen, not replace, the local church.
  • Casting a clear vision helps believers embrace their role in God’s mission.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
