Parking Lot Controversy- We respond to your comments!
Manage episode 476033261 series 3255559
What is real ministry—and what’s just church busywork?
In episode 93, Drew and Tim respond to a viral social media clip that stirred up strong opinions about church volunteer roles, first impressions, and whether we're truly serving God's vision or just copying megachurch models.
You’ll hear our honest thoughts, listener reactions, and a deeper challenge to rethink how we define service, success, and spiritual impact in today’s church.
Ask Yourself 👇
Are we calling everything “ministry” just to keep people busy?
Can churches unintentionally make guests feel like a project instead of a person?
Is your church copying what works somewhere else instead of asking what God wants?
How do we know if a role or program is actually fruitful—or just familiar?
Are we measuring success by transformation or by attendance and applause?
🎧 Listen now, think deeply, and let’s redefine ministry through the lens of Jesus—not trends.
