60. Confronting Elite Christianity, with Pastor Michael Clary
Manage episode 353556519 series 3371142
Some prominent leaders in the Church today regard themselves as elite Christians. They may not admit to that if asked, but a spirit of elitism is clearly at work. This is nothing new. The history of faith is filled with examples of leaders overly concerned about their influence and standing among other elites.
But how does elite Christianity take root? How is it driving a wedge between Christians today? Can this growing rift be mended? Or is God shaking things up to refine his Church and reveal our true hearts? Importantly, what can Christian leaders do when they discover an elitist attitude within their own hearts?
Pastor Michael Clary recently took to Twitter to thoughtfully reflect on his own struggles with elitist tendencies. As he examined the faithful examples of his grandfather and great-grandfather, Pastor Clary was convicted by their obedience pastoring rural churches.
On this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Pastor Clary shares insights into his recent examination of elite Christianity. He provides not only a clear picture of what is happening, but also encouraging ways leaders can step off the elitist path.
