the fix

More and more I keep having conversations about “the fix”. The problem is “the church”.

You will hear problems like sunday mornings, too much structure, not enough evangelism, looking at the back of people’s heads,bad structure, too easy, too hard, too much money being spent, not enough community, etc…

You will hear solutions like being more missional, being smaller, more dialog, more discipline, higher standards, more covenant agreements, more small groups, more discipleship, more leadership, more conferences, workshops, and training on leadership and discipleship and small groups, and being missional and covenant agreements, etc..

The more I talk to more people who are done with Christianity (and Church) the more I think the fix is much more simple: our theology.

The way we have thought about God, the Bible, and every other issue related has sufficiently removed most passion, most joy, most trust, and most desire to do anything related to Christianity.

Until the passion, joy, trust, and desire return, well, what’s the point?
