And how do you know if what you're currently in is building you up or slowly making you weaker?</p><p><br></p><p>In this second half of the roundtable, Seun and the brothers get into the theology underneath the church — why expositional preaching produces a different kind of Christian than topical preaching does, what Paul actually meant when he said be filled with the Holy Spirit (hint: it's not the smoke machine), and why 25 out of 27 New Testament books address false teaching, even though most churches never preach on it.</p><p><br></p><p>One of the brothers shares the story of walking into a charismatic church where his pastor told him to put the Bible down. You're reading too much. Just feel the spirit.
