Not understanding that, man, Jesus established the church.

Like Jesus established both in a, where two or three are gathered, I'm with them, and in the local gathering, and sometimes in large gatherings.

We see all the above.

We see home churches in the New Testament, and we see them gathering in Acts, and there's thousands of people there.

So this idea that, you know, this is good, this is bad, it's like bad is bad.

Good is good.

There are big churches that are doing great, great work.

There are small churches that are not doing great work, that don't have accountability, that rewrote the bylaws, right?

And so how we speak about these things has ripple effects.

And if you want to tear down the institution, that's going to come with consequences.

Sorry.

Can I read some data to you?

Absolutely.

Okay, so here's some data.

So I already said this to you.

Average full-time pastor salary in America is $58,000.

That's the medium, right?

Average teacher salary is $74,000.

So most pastors are making less than public school teachers.

Mm-hmm.
