“The church in the U.S. has bought into the idea of taking our quick-fix medicines. In fact, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that we have over-medicated our churches. As a result, people are getting resistant to our quick-fix programs. Church members and even some outside the church are getting weary of our programs. Instead of quick-fix programs, they want authenticity. They want a process for true discipleship and life change…not another medicating program.
As unpleasant as it sounds, we need to stop medicating the church and go back to the “old-school” process of making disciples. We need to re-evaluate the practices that keep our churches healthy.”
