Episode Details

What if the greatest threat to the church today isn’t persecution—but the craving to be liked? In this episode, we expose the deadly lure of respectability: how pastors, scholars, and churches are trading faithfulness for applause—from academia, from culture, even from fellow Christians. From seminaries seeking state approval to Christians silencing truth for the sake of image, we ask: what happens when the fear of man overrides the fear of God? Jesus was rejected by the respectable. Paul was called a counterfeit. Why should we expect better?
