October may be Pastor Appreciation Month, but on this episode, weâre exposing the dangerous rise of the Celebrity Pastor Industrial Complex and Pentecostal Cult of Personality. From âmy pulpitâ to âdouble honor,â we unpack how Scripture has been twisted to justify fame, entitlement, and idolatry in the name of âhonor.â Youâll hear shocking clips from real sermons that prove many pastors now function more like CEOs and influencers than humble shepherds. Weâll also explore what a true biblical leader looks like, and how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, tore the veil so you could walk freely into the presence of God.Â
