HOW THIS EXTREMELY POPULAR PASTOR IS MIXING TRUTH AND ERROR FOR GEN Z
Segment 1:
• Jon Mark Comer is popular with Gen Z, pushing a me-focused worldview.
• True Christianity demands battling all sin, not selectively tolerating some.
• Sin’s deceitfulness exposes the emptiness of self-made systems.
Segment 2:
• Comer’s message mirrors Rob Bell-style mysticism and expressive individualism.
• Gen Z craves depth but is being fed me-centric spirituality.
• Comer’s eclectic mix of truth and error makes him appealing yet dangerous.
Segment 3:

• The Spirit-driven life is about who you are, not self-improvement tricks.
• Are you depending on inventions—or on the Holy Spirit—for daily living?
Segment 4:
• You are a Christian in the day-to-day as much as in the “spiritual.”
• Living the Christian life isn’t about feelings-driven systems—it’s obedience.
• Neglecting your daily walk isn’t harmless—it’s sin.
