Help us settle this debate! The question is, whether a coffee house in a church's lobby can be considered a ministry. We discuss the different perspectives on this issue, with one side arguing that serving people through a coffee house can be seen as ministry, while the other side believes that it distracts from the core mission of the church. We also touch on topics such as the role of amenities in churches, the importance of equipping the saints, and the need for smaller, more community-focused churches. The conversation ends with a discussion about the future of the church and the possibility of a great awakening.

The conversation highlights the gradual changes that have occurred within the Boy Scouts, such as allowing girls and openly gay members, which have led to a decline in membership. The hosts also draw parallels to other institutions, like the United Methodist Church, that have faced similar challenges to their traditional values. The conversation explores the impact of progressive ideologies on society, particularly in relation to the LGBTQ+ movement and the erosion of traditional values.
