Is the American Church becoming the very thing Jesus opposed? 🤔In this critical episode of the Christian Podcast Show with Beto & Mili, we tackle the uncomfortable question: are parts of the modern evangelical movement morphing into a new generation of Pharisees?We are honored to be joined by two insightful leaders: Mike McNeff from Magnolia Baptist Church in Anaheim and Stu Streeter, who oversees church plants for the North American Baptist Conference.Together, we explore the spiritual danger of trading genuine faith for political power and the heavy cost of legalism. We dissect the profound lessons of the Prodigal Son's Older Brother—the one who stayed home but was lost to self-righteousness. Mili also shares a raw, powerful testimony of deliverance and finding true spiritual gifts.This is an essential conversation about the current state of Christianity, the nature of true revival, and how to embrace grace in a world obsessed with being right.In this powerful discussion, we cover:Jesus or Power? The corrupting influence when the Gospel is wedged into political structures.The Older Brother Syndrome: Why performance-based legalism is the most dangerous form of being lost.The Cost of "Purity": How a focus on outward behavior can mask an inward heart problem.True Revival: Mili’s story of healing and spiritual gifts in the church today.Restoring Community: How humility and mutual grace can help rebuild fractured relationships.Navigate the Discussion:Timestamp Topic0:00 The Core Tension: Jesus or Political Power?1:10 Is the Evangelical Church Dying or Waking Up?3:57 The Parable of the Two Sons: Focusing on the Older Brother21:19 Mili's Personal Story and the Meaning of Revival52:50 Can the Two Sons Be Friends?
