Episode Synopsis

Mel, Todd, and Michael discuss the biblical rationale for why megachurches are a good thing. The megachurch is often unfairly maligned when in reality many of the same problems which arise in megachurches also trouble smaller churches. They also talk about whether there are any honorable reasons for desiring a large following. Are we certain we're treating Christendom's most influential shepherds properly? How should this treatment scale to secular positions of authority? The conversation finishes with self-interested motivations for converting to Christianity. Is there any nobility in coming to Christ simply to avoid Hell?
