In this controversial episode of the All Consuming Grace Podcast, hosts Paul and Rebecca follow up to the question raised in episode 21: Has the church lost its way? Today, we uncover WHY the church has lost its way. Together, we expose how, many churches have too often reduced grace to an academic exercise—turning the life-changing truth of the gospel into nothing more than information to be debated. Sadly, believers use Scripture and key passages to back up this notion. We further reveal how this mindset has stripped the church of its power. The grace of God is not just information to be known—it is the very work of the Holy Spirit consuming us and transforming our lives. If you’ve ever wondered why the church feels powerless, this conversation will open your eyes to the difference between knowing about grace and being consumed by it.

Has the church drifted from God’s design and lost its way? In this episode of All Consuming Grace, Paul and Rebecca ask two crucial questions every believer must wrestle with:

1️⃣ Are we guilty of seeking messages that only “scratch our itching ears” (II Timothy 4:3)—gravitating to grace buzzwords and phrases—while ignoring the transforming power of God’s Word?

2️⃣ Are we guilty of running the church the world’s way? Have we traded God's simple and straightforward design for the Body of Christ for the “5 B’s”—buildings, budgets, business, bringing people in, and boards—things God never intended or instituted?

This challenging conversation calls us to reexamine the churches we attend, ask hard questions, and be honest with ourselves if we truly desire lasting change. True grace doesn’t just comfort—it CONSUMES!
