Megachurch pastor Craig Groeschel follows Tim Tebow in suspending ties to Life Surge
Tim Tebow, left, and pastor Craig Groeschel. Photos courtesy of The Tebow Group and Life.Church) Life Surge, a prominent organization hosting Christian leadership and wealth-building events at megachurches and stadiums, is facing severe scrutiny following a joint investigation by Mother Jones magazine and sports podcaster Pablo Torre. The report alleges that the group utilized religious faith and high-pressure tactics to encourage attendees—who pay twenty dollars for baseline admission—into purchasing expensive faith-based investment courses ranging from ten thousand to forty thousand dollars. In response to these serious allegations, multiple high-profile speakers have severed or suspended their ties with the organization.

Because megachurches are more often than not just avenues for grifters to guilt-trip people into giving them their money. And Reoublicans are more likely to do a religious-themed grift.

In my experience, progressive megachurches are actually more common in the south, bc the megachurch aesthetic is just more common here, generally; but even if I scour a prog megachurch’s theology & find nothing offensive, I just can’t trust a church w those aesthetics. It’s a me problem!

I also feel this way & I think it comes down to my aesthetic associations as a cradle higher-church Episcopalian. Megachurches lean into commercial aesthetic that I distrust instinctively (esp since I also disagree w most megachurches theologically).
I am so intrigued by the idea of a progressive megachurch pastor. Progressive Christianity is completely enmeshed in my mind with the stereotypical small and mighty (but declining) mainline Protestant church in a crumbling 19th century building. But why not a progressive megachurch?
NEW: Last month, I flew to Kansas to speak with Rev. Adam Hamilton, the megachurch pastor running for Senate — as a Democrat.
He talked to me about "progressive evangelicalism," and I talked to his congregants.
And here's the thing: he has a real chance of winning. religionnews.com/2026/09/23/h...

I don't know if it's Renew or not, but a bunch of parishes in Denver were like evangelical protestant megachurches with bells and smells. The church I worked at (Fatima) was at the Coors's parish, and it said "An Evangelical Bible-Believing Church" right on the sign.

there is so much that goes on in this country that I have no idea about: reality competition shows, those CBS series paid for out of a CIA slush fund, megachurches, cryptocurrency, Silicon Valley cnc orgies

I didn't realize that the GOP's plan to attack Hamilton was to refer to him as a "megachurch pastor" as a negative.

There's a local pastor yelling on social media about halal products in stores here saying it's idolatry.
Of every claim you can level against Islam, the one I think with the least evidence is 'idolatry' ....Christian megachurches on the other hand....

I went looking for why people fall for megachurches.
There are human needs formerly fulfilled by attendance at community events like church, parades, dances, local-talent concerts.
Megachurches are bigger, flashier, more manipulative.
But do fulfill a need.
To win, provide a better need-fulfiller

I always wanted to draw Walton Goggins. The Gemstones character feels extremely familiar to me, having grown up in Texas and witnessed the rise of megachurches firsthand. The spot varnishing over the stained glass areas looks crazy in person 🤯

We need a whistleblower hotline for megachurches that fund PACs or intertwine politics into their sermons, and have their tax-exempt status revoked.
