S3 EP22 featuring Trent Roberts: Biblical Literacy Moralistic Therapeutic Deism and Importance of Education Part 2
Season 3 Episode 3
Welcome to the L3 Podcast! We hope this podcast will be helpful to both you and your ministry.
In Part 2 of our conversation, we're back with Trent Roberts, President of Northpoint College, to tackle the pervasive and challenging topic of Moralistic Therapeutic Deism (MTD). What is the actual religion of many in our churches today? Pastor Aaron and Trent dive deep into MTD, a belief system that reduces Christianity to being a good person and using God for personal happiness, all while keeping Him at a safe distance. They explore how this "prosperity gospel of self" impacts everything from our testimonies to our preaching, creating a faith that is afraid of suffering and avoids the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. This is a vital discussion for leaders seeking to understand the cultural water we're all swimming in and how to call people back to an authentic, costly, and powerful Christ-centered faith that the next generation is hungry for.
