Rethinking Church: Are We Any Closer to God with All the Stuff We Made Up?

Challenging the Traditions That Keep Us from His Presence

Have we complicated what Jesus intended to be simple and powerful? In this provocative episode, Greg Lancaster challenges long-standing traditions and man-made systems that have crept into the modern church. Are all the things we’ve added—programs, buildings, titles, rituals—actually helping us grow closer to God, or have they become a substitute for Him?

Greg confronts the hard questions: Are we more focused on structure than on presence? Are we building churches Jesus never asked for while ignoring the very commands He gave us? This episode is a wake-up call to strip away the noise and return to authentic relationship with the Living God.

Scripture says, “These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me” (Matthew 15:8). If you’ve ever felt like something is missing in the way we “do church,” this is your invitation to rethink everything—and rediscover what it means to be the Church.
