The Dangers of a Watered-Down Gospel: Ep 1

In this episode of Faith and Focus, John and Sara delve into the concept of seeker-sensitive churches, discussing their impact on the church and the gospel. They explore the definition of seeker sensitivity, its implications for church practices, and the importance of maintaining a focus on scripture and sound doctrine. The conversation emphasizes the need for depth in teaching, the role of the church in nurturing believers, and the dangers of watering down the gospel to attract non-believers. Ultimately, they argue for a church that glorifies God and prioritizes the spiritual growth of its members.
