Summary

Segment 1:



• Critique from Disntr: Effeminate pastors are pushing men out of church.



• Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is relocating—what’s happening to once-solid institutions?



• Churches may be losing men by embracing soft, culturally conformed leadership.



Segment 2:



• Disntr (formerly Reformation Charlotte) slams “middle-road” churches for lacking clarity.



• There’s no third way between truth and cultural appeasement.



• Men need strong leadership—effeminacy won’t fill the pews.



Segment 3:



• A church performs ballet to “The Blessing”—is this God-glorifying?



• Performance replaces preaching in churches with no confidence in Scripture.



• Reformed in name only: many churches are evangelical on the outside, worldly at the core.



Segment 4:



• Billboard says Christian music is rising—but what are we actually singing?



• Songs like “Hard Fought Hallelujah” and “Your Way’s Better” may stir emotions—but do they stir truth?



• The showbiz church is booming—but is it still the church?
