05 - Will God make me healthy, wealthy and blessed? with Sean DeMars.

Does God promise prosperity and wellness to his people? And if that’s not what my life looks like, am I doing something wrong? In this episode, we visit with Sean DeMars of 6th Avenue Community Church in Decatur, AL. He shares his personal story of becoming a Christian, but quickly finding himself swept away by the American “prosperity gospel” and the “name it and claim it” word-of-faith movement. You’ll hear the lengths to which this skewed theology endangered Sean’s faith (as well as his physical life), and ultimately how his eyes became opened to the true “good news” of Jesus Christ. Looking at God’s Word and the ministry of God’s Son, we find that following Jesus does not promise us an easy road in this life… but it guarantees us so much more.
