People today have A LOT of opinions of the Church; unfortunately, most are not very good. WHY?! Culture has a negative view of the church because we are missing something vital! And what we are missing might surprise you. The good news is that what the church is missing is easy to find and put into practice. It just takes intentionality and commitment. Sadly, without it, we are in trouble.

In this episode of the Church Disrupted podcast, Jeff Cochran and the crew discuss the one thing that the American Church needs most if we are going to reach this generation. You will laugh, you will be surprised, and you will be challenged to think differently. If that sounds good to you, then join us for episode 007 of the Church Disrupted Podcast!
