Summary

The guys were asked to interact with an article by Pastor Carey Nieuwhof called, 5 Signs Your Church is Becoming Irrelevant. While the guys ultimately believe that what demonstrates the relevance of a local church is the biblical message and mission of the church, Joe and Jimmy weigh in on how Carey might be right and wrong in his article.
