Worshiptainment: When the Stage Replaces the Savior (w/ Matthew Everhard)
In this month’s True Worship in an Age of Counterfeits series, Dave Jenkins is joined by Dr. Matthew Everhard to discuss the growing trend of worshiptainment—when the stage and performance overshadow the Savior. Together they consider what Scripture requires for true worship, the dangers of performance-driven services, and the importance of the ordinary means of grace. They also talk about Matthew’s book, Worshiptainment: The Modern Church’s Golden Calf.
