Why do people stay in church? This podcast uncovers the often-unspoken reasons, from inherited family traditions and deep-seated fears of "the frying pan" to the critical role of donations in maintaining modern religious institutions. We then sharply contrast this "Sunday supermarket" approach with Jesus's selective method, which built a tight-knit "special task force" focused on genuine spiritual readiness. He chose hearts over crowds, offering a path to ripeness rather than condemnation for those not yet prepared. Join us to ponder what the church could become if it returned to this ideal, building communities based on authentic longing, not habit, fear, or profit.
