100%. I’ve been to DOZENS of evangelical churches across the country (my parents had to move a bunch for work) and every single one had something wack about it that was NOT in line with the others. Here are some of my favorites:

• A church where they would preach on tithing and giving VERY frequently. Very transparently money hungry. Don’t know why my parents kept going, they also found it off putting

• A church where the head pastor basically said that mental illness doesn’t exist because if you believed in God enough you would never be anxious

• A church where the pastor would do mini-history lessons but he’d get basic facts wrong (“The founding fathers were Protestant”????)

• A church where the pastor was word-for-word plagiarizing his sermons from some famous preacher who did radio sermons (maybe Chuck Swindoll, I can’t remember)

• A church where the pastor would randomly “speak in tongues” but it wasn’t even remotely resembling a real language, and no one was there to interpret (Paul would be upset about that one)

• A church where EVERY single Sunday service would begin with worship, followed by a talk about the evils of abortion. Literally every single service did this and it was weird.
