Tonight, I have the privilege of having Dr. Tom Wadsworth on the show. He holds two master's degrees and a PhD in New Testament. He is a professional speaker and writer who has been hired to speak to audiences throughout the U.S. and internationally. His recent YouTube videos on the topic of worship, which were based on his doctoral dissertation, have been viewed over 500,000 times. His videos have been called “groundbreaking,” “eye-opening,” and “a national treasure.” At the same time, his videos have been called “heresy,” “false teaching,” and “a bunch of lies.” Critics aside, we discuss some of the important aspects of the "how" and "why" we gather every Sunday for corporate gatherings. Are there areas we can improve? Is there something missing? Let's discuss this together.
