What if the biggest threat to Christianity isn't persecution—it's domestication?

In this hard-hitting message from the "Made: The Making of a Disciple" series, Pastor Kelly Goins challenges the comfortable, safe version of faith that's taken over the American church. Using insights from AI (yes, really), biblical examples, and raw honesty, Kelly reveals how we've tamed Jesus, stripped the gospel of its power, and created a church culture more concerned with comfort than transformation.

This isn't your typical "feel-good" sermon. Pastor Kelly tackles:

-How domesticated Christianity has adapted to cultural norms rather than challenging them

-Why Jesus didn't come to make your life comfortable—He came to make it count

-The difference between being a spiritual consumer versus a contributor

-What it really means when Jesus says "take up your cross"

-How ordinary, "unqualified" people become world-changers

Key Quote: "I don't want a church full of safe, domesticated disciples that never rock the boat. I want a church full of undomesticated believers that will change the community and change the world we live in."

Warning: This episode will challenge you. You might leave a little offended. That's the point. If you're ready to move beyond comfortable Christianity and embrace the wild, risky, radical life Jesus actually calls us to, this message is for you.

Discussion Prompts:

-Have you tamed Jesus to fit your lifestyle, or are you letting Him transform everything about you?

-Are you more characterized by what you consume at church or what you contribute?

-What needs to die in your life so Christ can live more fully through you?

Scripture: Luke 9:57-62, Acts 2:44-45, Acts 4:13, Galatians 2:20, Galatians 6:14
