Cars, religion, food, EVERYTHING. So to say that a message will sell on it's on is just ignorant of how life works. And yes, another reason why I left the church because of all the ministers that would condemn those churches that "marketed". Oh, and by the way, the most marketed minister in the history of America- yes Billy Graham. Go study how his advertising and public relations was done. Brilliant. As imo, you would have never heard of Billy Graham without all the marketing done to make him "God's man of the hour". EVERYTHING in life is sold. Cars, religion, food, EVERYTHING.

I don't feel the quote was in any way meant to tear you or your philosophies down. The way he disagreed with the approach to ministry does not seem to shoot down the ministry itself, to me. However, as you mentioned about him not bringing this up when you were together, that seems a bit shady. I can see how reading that comment in a book, when it was neglected face to face would make you question the critique. Tim,

I can understand your frustration, however, I read “Simply Strategic Growth” and “Pop Goes the Church”… how do you feel you were taken out of context? It appears you and Jethani simply have a fundamental disagreement on the issue. What am I missing?
