Description:

Segment 1

• Is evangelicalism actually at a historic low—or on the brink of revival?

• Past “golden ages” of evangelical influence actually collapsed faster than expected.

• The real reason that faithful churches often do better without celebrity leaders.

Segment 2

• Why social media influence may be incapable of sustaining biblical faithfulness.

• The hidden dangers of untethered Christian platforms without institutional accountability.

• History shows us a repeating pattern of influence, drift, and collapse.

Segment 3

• Is “cultural contextualization” helping the church—or hollowing it out from within?

• Replacing biblical language subtly reshapes the gospel itself.

• Why trying to sound less Christian may cost the church its power entirely.

Segment 4

• Does every church need a “lead pastor”—or is that unbiblical?

• How leadership authority actually functions inside a healthy plurality of elders.

• Rushing to replace a prominent pastor can damage a church for decades.
