The Christian Roundtable

Episode 53 - Worship vs Entertainment - part four

In this episode of Let’s Talk Missions, we go deeper into the question: Is our worship leading people to holiness—or just hyping them up? We explore the difference between emotional highs and true heart transformation. From Isaiah’s undone confession to David’s desire for intimacy with God, we discuss how worship is meant to produce reverence, repentance, and real change—not just feelings that fade by Monday. We also examine the long-term effects of worship driven by entertainment, the temptation to prioritize excellence over holiness, and the risk of replacing the altar with the stage. If worship doesn’t lead to obedience, has it truly fulfilled its purpose? This conversation calls us back to worship that is Spirit-led, Scripture-fed, and centered on Christ.

Episode 52 - Worship vs Entertainment - part three

In this episode of Let’s Talk Missions, we tackle a timely and often overlooked question: has worship in the modern church become more about entertainment than engaging the Spirit of God? We dive deep into the difference between emotional stimulation and true spiritual nourishment. From flashy stage lights to emotionally charged concerts, we ask whether churches today are unintentionally raising consumers instead of disciples. With Scripture as our guide, we explore how real worship calls for sacrifice, not just sensation—and how the goal of gathering should be to feed the soul, not impress the senses. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between spectacle and substance, this conversation is for you.

Episode 51 - Worship vs Entertainment - part two

In this latest episode of The Christian Roundtable, we peel back another layer of the conversation on entertainment versus worship—this time asking a deeper question: what happens when our preferences begin to shape our theology? It’s easy to blur the lines between what moves us emotionally and what honors God spiritually. But true worship isn’t about what feels good—it’s about what is good, pure, and centered on Christ. If our services are designed to hold attention more than to point hearts upward, we risk trading transformation for applause. Join us as we wrestle with what it really means to worship in spirit and in truth, even when it costs us our comfort.

Episode 50 - Worship vs Entertainment - part one

What happens when the line between worship and entertainment starts to blur? In this episode of The Christian Roundtable, we take an honest look at how modern church culture sometimes shifts the focus from glorifying God to putting on a show.
We’re not here to criticize style—we’re here to ask deeper questions about the heart behind it all. Is Christ truly at the center of our worship, or have emotions and experiences taken His place?
Let’s have a real conversation about what it means to worship in spirit and in truth.
