The Theology Pugcast | Where Did Evangelicalism Go Wrong? Part 2—An Interview with Garrett Craw : TheTheologyPugcast Ep261 @TheTheologyPugcast | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Two themes swept through evangelicalism in the 1980s and 90s--they were "Church Growth" and "Contextualization." Both were the promoted by Fuller Theological Seminary. The Church Growth faculty at Fuller drew on social science, and research on what was successful in foreign mission fields. What they failed to incorporate into their theories is the intellectual tradition of the post Christian west. Church growth turned against ecclesiology in favor of marketing, confusing that with evangelism. But there have been successful church planters who have not betrayed sound theology in the name of reaching people. One of them is Garrett Craw.

Unfortunately, we had a technical issue with the audio this time around, so forgive the poor quality there. Still worth a listen!
