you will see many of our churches have become a joke in america (i.e. relevant and seeker-obsessed)
I do agree that many churches today are becoming less and less Christ-centered. They have sacrificed the message for the sake of being cool and/or drawing in large crowds. What is most troubling is that one of the pastors he was making note of was my own church's pastor.

has reported on a lot of seeker-driven and emergent pastors.
In the segment where the speaker was showing a clip of the pastor who was talking about changing his hair style from bald to the blonde mesh. That is my pastor; his name is Steven Furtick and he is the pastor of Elevation church in NC. Judging from the video, the speaker seems to imply that Steven sold out the gospel and focuses more on making a fashion statement. Naturally, I have some reservations because I have sat through dozens of Pastor Steven's messages and I honestly can't think of a sermon where he never mentioned the saving power of Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit among those who obey Him. What is troubling is that people (the speaker) from the outside don't seem to see Christ within our church or within our pastor; that really bothers me because I was certain about Steven's faith and his legitimacy as a shephard of God.
