Sinopse
James Wellman with us today to talk about his newest book, High on God: How Mega Churches Have Won the Heart of America. Most would have Wellman in the "progressive Christian" camp, he began his research assuming his cynicism about Mega Churches would be vindicated and that he'd find that these things should go away for good. Instead, he discovered that Mega Churches generally provide a healthy sense of belonging to its members and typically contribute a lot of good into their surrounding communities. Do these churches help meet emotional needs? Are evangelicals a more generous bunch than their progressive counterparts? Here’s a very practical and simple explanation for keeping Mega Churches around. At the top of the episode, Matt Oxley, Ellen Mauro and Joey Svendsen discuss their former fundamentalism, why Matt’s not a Christian anymore and why a "universalistic salvation" evangelistic message would be the most effective gospel message, even if it wasn’t true.
