    330 - Motives and Metrics In Church Life and Media

    Blessing Mpofu and Chris Wilson wrestle with where the lines blur when it comes to motives and metrics in church life and media.

How do we know when we're now more consumed with feeding the algorithm for reaction and compromised the mission?  Mentioned In This Episode Rise and Fall Of Mars Hill––The Brand@JoshCarlosJosh on TwitterJohn StottMatthew 6:16-18 (ESV): “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
