Catalyst Dallas – Centering prayer session
Remember when Pastor Rick Warren posted a tutorial on Centering Prayer on his Pastor’s Toolbox website, encouraging thousands of pastors to teach their congregants to go into the silence? No? That’s probably because he yanked it down after biblically sound Christians sounded the alarm bells in his comments section. (Good thing there’s screen capture.)
Now thousands of young Christian leaders are getting a front-row seat to this mystical practice, at this year’s Catalyst Leadership Conference in Dallas.
As someone who has attended Catalyst conferences and who knows full well that young leaders are taught the social justice, business growth model “gospels” there, I can tell you that you will not find much in the way of biblical discipleship tutorials or the sharing of the Gospel, nor will you find much about repentance and holiness unless it’s whispered in the hall. I know that’s tough talk…
You are so right. We were shocked to find what people consider to be Christian-biblical training today even in the Christian life coaching Industry.
Our goal has always been to serve God and teach the truth of the word of God we are by far in the minority. Because when I entered Christian coaching, I could find no schools at all that taught a biblical foundation. It was then I was encouraged to create this curriculum. It's a little scary what is being taught in the name of God.
Unfortunately it is a matter of buyer beware. Unless you have a solid foundation in the word of God, you won't know when you're being taught apostasy. By apostacy I mean just enough scripture to make it sound authentic while in fact it's contrary to the truth in the Bible. Innocent students are being led astray. When they realize it they have wasted thousands of dollars and are afraid to trust honest trainers.
