In this episode, Sam refers to recent headlines regarding the sexual corruption and abuse of men who are leaders in the church, and the systemic problem that this highlights. Using the story of Samuel at the end of his ministry in the Old Testament, he points out that Christians who choose to follow a man are no different than the Children of Israel who rejected God by demanding a king that they could follow. Just as our head operates our entire physical body, there can be only one Head of the Church. If you are following a head and not The Head, it’s time to turn your heart and re-enthrone The King. _______________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast. Join Sam Neider, a former pastor, on his journey of enlightenment as he shares his story of walking through darkness and despair to lay hold of the LIGHT that he could not find in 30 years of seeking, searching, and serving in the church. Sam exposes why the church is broken and how the misaimed, man-made system fails at bringing light into the world and at producing transformation in the lives of the believers. Sam will empower you, the listener, with the good news of living the KINGDOM LIFE, based on the TRUTH of what Jesus really taught and commissioned us to do - the TRUTH that has been veiled by the broken system of the church.
