Summary

Segment 1 • Guest hosts: Justin Peters, Jim Osman & Gabe Hughes • The church must not copy business models or government structures. • Churches chasing worldliness to attract the world lose their distinctiveness. Segment 2 • Baptism and communion aren’t rituals—they’re visible reminders of the gospel • Worship that entertains people often stops honoring God • Some churches draw crowds—but they’re feeding goats, not sheep Segment 3 • Most churches avoid church discipline—even though Jesus commands it • Matthew 18 isn’t optional—it’s how the church deals with sin • When discipline is ignored, sin spreads—but when it’s practiced, the church is purified Segment 4 • Church discipline: loving restoration or something most churches are too afraid to practice? • What happens when someone refuses to repent—and why that changes everything • If your church never confronts sin, is it protecting people… or failing them? ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners. If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.
