Is It Faith or Just Performance? | Religion, Control, and the Real Gospel

In this eye-opening episode, the hosts peel back the layers of social media influence, modern belief systems, and the true essence of Christianity. They dive deep into the tension between religion as performance and faith as relationship — tackling everything from TikTok theology to church hierarchy, denominational divides, and the cult of personality in leadership.

With raw honesty and spiritual insight, they explore how scripture gets misused, why context matters, and how commercialization has blurred the lines between faith and fame. From the legacy of the Pharisees to the rise of influencer pastors, this conversation challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to follow God.

Topics Include:

• Faith vs. Performance
• Social Media’s Impact on Belief
• Denominations, Confession, and the Pope
• Cult-Like Control in Churches
• Youth Groups & the Crisis of Authenticity
• Why Understanding Scripture Matters

Don’t miss this challenging yet hopeful look at how to live with faith, not just follow religion.
