    The Religion Business Pulls Back The Curtain on Church Corruption..Now What?? | #reChurch Ep. 21

    What happens when the church starts to look more like a business than the body of Christ? In this episode, we sit down with the creators of The Religion Business—a docuseries that investigates the billion-dollar machine behind institutional Christianity. From financial abuse to misplaced power, this series pulls back the curtain on the side of church most people don’t want to talk about. We talk with Nathan Apffel and Chris Ayoub about what led them to create this project, the resistance they faced, and the deeper heart behind the series—not to tear down the church, but to call it back to what it was always meant to be. And in the second half of the conversation, we dig into what’s next—how we move forward with faith, hope, and integrity outside of broken systems. Whether you've been hurt by the church or you're simply searching for something more authentic, this one’s for you. 🎥 Watch the full 7-Part docuseries: https://www.thereligionbusiness.com 📲 Follow The Religion Business: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/religionbusiness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thereligionbusiness 📲 Follow Nathan: https://www.instagram.com/nathan_apffel 📲 Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/thelight8011 📚 Recommended Resources to dive deeper into Organic/Simple Church: 👉 Organic Church by Neil Cole: https://amzn.to/40MylbU 👉 Organic Leadership by Neil Cole: https://amzn.to/3UMxF2o 👉 Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola: https://amzn.to/3UNWzPf #reChurch #thereligionbusiness #megachurch ✅ Follow Justin: https://www.instagram.com/justin.knoop https://www.youtube.com/@reChurchPodcast
