When Dogmatism Becomes A Problem

We are in a series right now focused on cultivating a healthy church culture. Every church has a culture, whether they realize it or not.  And while some churches have a healthy church culture, many do not! So over the last few episodes we’ve discussed two toxins in the soil of the American church that are inhibiting kingdom fruit. We talked about "celebrity-ism", or having a personality-driven church, we talked about "growth-ism" or the belief that growth is the mark of success, and we talked about the misuse and abuse of power.

In this episode, we want to name and discuss a third toxin in the soil of the American church and it’s dogmatism. We'll define what we mean, talk about examples we've seen, and discuss and healthier way of relating to our beliefs and the beliefs of others.
