Brother Eli talking about why many people are walking away from organized religion. The main distinction between rejecting God and rejecting religious institutions is very important.
In places like Brazil, many people are just atheists not because they hate God, but because they have been wounded and misled by so many leaders. And so, this frustration has driven because of faith pastors that are portraying the gospel for selfish reasons.
When religion becomes transactional, people feel used and they are not well-spiritualized. However, there is a strong message to us. It is that we challenge so many listeners.Brother Eli made reference to scriptures. It's serious. It's a big, huge question. How do we speak to that? Time to close the door of understanding.
What stands out most is the explanation of our religion currently, which means binding again, not an institution, but a way to reconnect believers in the faith. That idea has proved to us that if religion truly leads people back to God, humility and love, then yes, it is something that we must emulate and it is good.
The real challenge is ensuring that religion heals people and not harm them, no matter what.
