Stop Turning Church Into Group Therapy |

In this episode of More Faith More Life , Pastor Steve Gray confronts what he calls “the Therapy Gospel." It's a version of Christianity that focuses on coping instead of transformation. He challenges the modern church’s self-centered starting point and calls believers back to the message Jesus actually preached: “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” Instead of beginning with guilt and anxiety, Steve urges a shift toward forward-moving Kingdom living, calling listeners to die to self, enter Christ’s life, and walk in real transformation. This is not about feeling better. It’s about becoming new. If you’ve ever felt stuck in church but hungry for revival, this episode will reframe how you see repentance, salvation, and the true Gospel. Key Takeaways: • Therapy vs. Transformation: Pastor Steve Gray critiques the modern "therapy gospel," urging a return to the transformative power found in the teachings of Jesus, which call for a renewal and departure from merely coping with personal issues. • The Kingdom of God: Emphasis on the need to understand repentance in light of the Kingdom of God being at hand—a calling towards living a life shaped by divine purpose rather than personal history or self-centered salvation. • Critique of Religious Systems: Analysis of how contemporary religious systems often fail believers, leaving them feeling lost within a structure that should foster growth and enlightenment. • Historical Perspective: References to Martin Luther's Reformation highlight how historical attempts to reconcile faith with personal guilt and anxiety have evolved, impacting present-day religious practices and beliefs. • Redefining Conversion: A call to rethink the sinner's prayer and conversion experiences to ensure they align with biblical notions of losing oneself to gain life abundantly in Christ, invoking personal sacrifice and genuine transformation.
