Why Church Consumerism Is Hurting Christianity
Why Church Consumerism Is Hurting Christianity  
Podcast: Conversations at the Ranch with Dudley Hall
Published On: Tue Dec 23 2025
Description: This week, Dudley and Pastor Chris McRae continue their conversation by addressing the realities of community, leadership, and the impact of consumerism on the modern church. Through honest dialogue and lived experience, they reflect on the weight pastors carry, the responsibility of preaching a faithful sermon, and the deep care involved in shepherding people well.This conversation invites believers to consider an important question for Christian faith today: How do we remain grounded in the gospel while resisting the temptation to treat church as something to consume rather than a place to belong? Together, they explore the role of church accountability, the value of meaningful community, and the necessity of hearing and living out the true gospel.By anchoring our lives in biblical truth and the person of Jesus, this episode points toward a vision of Christianity that is rooted in commitment, discipleship, and grace.Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!
