In today’s episode, Kaleb and I dive into a topic that might ruffle a few feathers — the state of the modern church, especially mega churches. Inspired by a hilarious (but lowkey convicting) parody by comedian Druski, we talk about the skepticism a lot of people feel toward church nowadays. From prosperity gospel gone wild to pastors with private jets and Dior drip — it’s no wonder people are asking, “Is church even biblical anymore?”
We also bring on our dear friend and pastor, JP Pokluda, to unpack what the Bible actually says about church, how to find a healthy one, and why yes, you DO need to be plugged into a local body of believers.
Oh, and don’t worry — there’s also plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and a little youth group trauma mixed in. 😂
